Hi Roy, I created this large scene of a futuristic city with hi-rise towers, spaceport, lake & park under a dome, etc. I would have lost the whole thing (14 days worth of work) but I had done a backup on it 2 days before, but my system crashed (so I still had 12 days of work saved. This crash occurred when I exited TS & saved what I had created in that session. I learned two (2) valuable lessons from this. #1 – If your working on a good sized project, ALWAYS back it up before you quit for the day; #2 – SAVE your work in TS about every 20 to 30 minutes. If you do too much work in TS then try to save it, you may crash. I got totally involved with my scene I was mocking up, working for about 2 hours without saving. Then when I tried to save 2 hours of intense TS work, the pay back was…"CRASH !" It situation may differ from what happened with your work, but I just thought I'd pass along what I learned the hard way. L E E
