The Scenegraph File menu contains these features.
- Add File
- Import geometry into the scene. When adding a VRED scene you can select if the variants, touch sensors, sequences, or environments should be merged.
- Save Selected

- Reload

Reload File and Reload All Files: Reload the external files referenced by the selected node. You can choose whether to keep the current materials or use those in the files. VRED creates a new node to replace the one being reloaded. This is because VRED uses a naming scheme for nodes within the hierarchy of the loaded file. If some materials cannot be restored, a message is displayed listing them, and the list is saved to the reload log. (The log is available for the last reload action only.)
- Replace File: Replace the external file referenced by the selected node with a new file.

- Select all Occurrences: Selects all incidents of the chosen asset in the Scenegraph.
- Find in Asset Manager: Selects the related asset within the asset manager.
- Reload from Asset Manager: Updates the selected asset from the asset manager.
