Now that you know how to create a basic scene, you need to know how to save it.

Choose Save As from the File Menu located in the Menu Bar:

Then give your scene a name that you will remember, and specify a folder to save in. Max will try to save in C:/3dsmax3_1/scenes by default, but you can save your scenes wherever you feel comfortable.

When you happy with your filename and location, click Save.

It is a good idea to save your scene as a new file at regular intervals, so that if something goes wrong, you can revert to a previously saved version.

Max has a shortcut for doing this. Once your file has been saved once, you can simply choose

 File> Save As

to bring up the Save As Window, and then press the + button, located to the left of the Save button.

This will save your scene as YourFileName01. Every time you do this, it will simply increase the number after your filename by 1.
