I saved a model, it saved as a dpf. I can't figure out how to reopen it.
Ok, fess up. What's the secret?

The short version: you have to save them in a prefab location, and access them from the prefab tree.

1. Select Object.
2. Export as prefab. Make sure to save in a subfolder of the Prefabs folder (Army, Crates, Towers, etc.). If you make a new subfolder, it will appear as a new node in the prefab tree.
3. Open up the prefab tree (part of the Create Item tree, right hand side of the screen). If it was already open, you might want to close and re-open it to refresh it.
4. If you made a new subfolder, it should show up. Underneath the subfolder, you will find your object.

Hope that helps! If you accidentally moved prefabs into any other location (like the Prefab folder's root), you can use windows explorer to move the dpf into any of the subfolders.

Jeroen: I am adding this as a topic to our upcoming tutorial section Also, I was thinking that maybe we should show a warning if the user tries to save outside any of the prefab subfolders.

Thanks. I'll put them in folders. They saved in the root prefab folder.
