Create a new file from a template to start your jewellery design. Select the 'Small Objects—Millimeters.3dm' template for precise work with small measurements. This template adjusts the viewport to a millimetre scale, ensuring accuracy in your design process.

### <img src="/files/sO635ZpxlV63LBaTdHYS" alt="" data-size="line"> Open

The Open command opens a specified Rhino or other supported format file.

### <img src="/files/SCVUlYmMLuMrr4ydFDPo" alt="" data-size="line"> Import

The Import command merges all objects from the file into the current model. When you import a file into the current document, the objects of that file are merged into the current document as they are in the other file.

### <img src="/files/hegzMzX5xth32yI5zuP7" alt="" data-size="line"> Insert

The Insert command inserts an internally stored block object or an external file as a block, group, or individual object. It lets you pick a specific insertion point and apply a scale and rotation to the objects when inserting.

### <img src="/files/NubNQrmxzrtlZL9PPsvA" alt="" data-size="line"> Import Element By File

RhinoArtisan offers pre-set elements in the entire Shanks category and the building components within the Diamond category, such as Baskets, Bezels, Peg-Heads, Clusters, and Halos. Additionally, Beads, Bails, Charms, Bangles, and Profiles pre-set elements are available in the Components category. These elements can be used as-is, customized, or new ones can be created. Modified or newly created elements can be added to their respective collections. All element parameters are stored in the `elements.json` file located in the User Folder. You can share this file with other users by having them use the "Import Element By File" option to add the elements to their collections. Only the different ones in their collection will be added.

### <img src="/files/J3V5eXQBDKvZBdSvh5nu" alt="" data-size="line"> Save

The Save command saves the current model.

### <img src="/files/YEKr7Wh1gqBslH7QcbsX" alt="" data-size="line"> SaveAs

### <img src="/files/aLmdrSjCgqNJQxuocvq3" alt="" data-size="line"> Incremental Save

### <img src="/files/zvv1Ta6ERGPuu6HjzuwT" alt="" data-size="line"> Save Small

The SaveSmall command saves geometry objects without meshes.&#x20;

### <img src="/files/J3V5eXQBDKvZBdSvh5nu" alt="" data-size="line">  Export Selected

### &#x20;<img src="/files/psqdCJqBVeORZMYcKb0A" alt="" data-size="line"> Save as Template

This command saves your current file as a template, including all the geometry and configurations you have done.

### <img src="/files/toLrOieLRCqGZT9GkBBL" alt="" data-size="line"> Recent

By executing this command, the Recent Files window will open. In the Recent Files window, you can see the files you have saved previously in RhinoArtisan, provided that you haven't erased them. If you click on a file listed there, it will open on RhinoArtisan. If you haven't saved your latest changes to your present file, you will be asked if you want to save those changes.
