Modeling with Prefabs


You  can  see  the  bolts used on the base and
the light beam effect from above.  Now to use 
this  model  again  just go back  up  to  the edit 
option  on  the  tool  bar  and now  select  'load
prefab'.  Drag the highlighted object into place
and  deselect.   You'll  notice  that  all  textures 
are  loaded  at  their  default  position so you'll
have to realign any changes that you've made.
It's a small price to pay considering the amount
of time it took to make the model.

   



If you'd like to download this model to get a 
better idea of the tutorial go to my prefabs
section  here.   Just  read the intructions on
the page and try some of the others as well.
Have fun trippin' on models!
