Clear Scene
As the name implies, you can select Clear Scene, or press Shift+n, to clear your scene. After
you perform this command, all that is left is a light and a camera. Be warned: You will not
have an opportunity to save after you do this, and LightWave does not inform you that data
might be lost. It asks you if you??™re sure you want to clear the scene, but that??™s it. So, save often!
Additionally, simply loading a new scene overrides your current scene. Therefore, using
Clear Scene before you use Load Scene is a wasted step.
Load
The Load submenu in the File drop-down allows you to load scenes, load recent scenes,
and load an item from a scene, which is a cool feature.You can also load objects and revert
the current scene to its previously saved state.
The Load Items from Scene command in the Load submenu is especially handy for character
animation.
