Are you working in a licensed version of the software or a free trial? If you have a license, have you double checked that your license is activated on the machine your using? I'm not sure what else this could be unless the model is corrupted. Can you attach the model so we can try saving on our end?

Yes, fully licensed and activated. Thanks for your message, file attached. I have started over and so far no issues like this have happened again.

It's possible there's some node that's corrupted and can't be saved. You could try running this script to see if any of the nodes in the tree can't be saved. From the Debug menu at the top of the screen open the Output Console and then drag it so that it undocks. Now open the Debug console. Paste this code into the debug console and then push the green run button.

forobjecttreeunder(model()) {
	treenode obj = a;
	print(obj);
	savebyname(obj, "test.t");
}

If you get an error at one of the nodes you might be able to look at the Output console and see what node it was just trying to save.

//Never Mind I had an autosave from like 3 minutes ago thank god.

feel free to delete this I just thought whoever saw it if anyone should know my files are fine... I think

I am having the same problem and when I ran the script the output console just says "/Tools" what am I meant to do now that I know that it is having trouble saving the tools? I think it is having problems because I tried deleting location groups from the model tree in the Locations folder, but I thought nothing happened so I gave up.
