# Create Template from Selection

In some instances you already have a product created but you realize that maybe a small part needs to be saved out as a reusable 3D element to be used in other products as well.

In this case you would need to first select part of the templates that you would like to save out, like the seat is selected in the screenshot below:

then press Create Template from Selection using the *Other* menu:

<figure><img src="/files/eA1hVLqXh2FQlIXW44wI" alt=""><figcaption><p>Create Template from Selection</p></figcaption></figure>

then you would need to name the product.

<figure><img src="/files/eDHEWnCtK3eXYSsMNmgT" alt="" width="342"><figcaption><p>Name</p></figcaption></figure>

This creates an internal template, but after you click *Edit* you can promote it to a reusable element that appears in the library.
