 ===Saving to TG3 file format===
-TexGen has it's own file format for storing textile geometry with the extension .TG3. For more details on this file format please read the [[TG3 File Format]] page. Any textile models saved to this file format can be reloaded at a later time however it is also a good idea to keep the python script used to generate the geometry in case modifications need to be made. To save such a file it is simply a matter of adding an additional like at the end of your script like so:

   SaveToXML("MyTextile.tg3")
-The first parameter is the name of the file to save, note that if the .tg3 extension is omitted then it will automatically be appended for you. The second parameter is optional and if used should be the name of the textile to save, this is useful if you have several textiles loaded at once (i.e. you called AddTextile more than once) and you only want to save one of them. Note that if you don't specify the second parameter and you do have several textiles loaded then it will save all of them. The third parameter determines how much information is saved in the .tg3 file, see the [[TG3 File Format]] for more details.

Note that if you don't specify the second parameter and you do have several textiles loaded then it will save all of them to a single .tg3 file.
