See: Export.

Options

Save small

Clear render and analysis meshes to reduce the 3dm file size. When you open the model next time, Rhino will re-create the render and analysis meshes as needed.

Save textures

Embed images used by materials, environments and decals into the 3dm. The images will not be lost when the 3dm is moved to another computer. Details...

Save plugin data

Save data attached to objects or the document by plug-ins.

Save geometry only

Saves geometry objects only. No layers, materials, properties, notes, or units settings are saved.

This is similar to exporting the objects. A new file is made, but it does not become your active Rhino model.

In the emergency save (out of memory) situation, Rhino automatically attempts to save your current model under a different name and prevent you from saving over your last .3dm file. Search your hard disk for a file named RHINO_EMERGENCY_SAVE.3dm.
