To save your Maya scene
1 Select File > Save Scene.
A file browser appears, listing the GettingStarted project directory where
you can save your scene.
If the GettingStarted directory does not appear, you need to copy the
GettingStarted folder and set it as your Maya project. See
Copying and
setting the Maya project
on page 25.
2 Within the GettingStarted directory, double-click the scenes folder to
open it.
3 Type: Lesson1 in the file name text box.
4 Click Save.
Maya saves your file to the scenes directory within your GettingStarted
project directory. Maya automatically saves the file with a .mb file
extension. The .mb file extension indicates that the scene was saved as a
Maya binary file: the default file type for a Maya scene.
Exiting Maya
Before you exit Maya, ensure you save any work that you want to retrieve and
continue with at a later time.
To exit Maya
Select File > Exit from the main menu.
Maya does one of the two following actions:
If you have saved your scene immediately preceding the Exit command,
Maya exits.
If you have not recently saved your scene, a message prompt appears on
the screen asking if you want to save your changes. Click either Save, Dont
Save, or Cancel.
