# Importing or Exporting a Model

Both the Blue Locate and the Blue Read tools support being exported and imported into other Blue tools. This allows you to quickly create new models, based on an existing model A specific spatial arrangement of a set of features (Blue Locate and Blue Read tools only.) During a post-processing step, the Blue Locate and Blue Read tools can fit all of the features detected in an image to the models defined for the tool. The overall pose and identity of the model is then returned. by importing a previously created model.

When exporting a model, VisionPro Deep Learning will package all of the information about the model into a model archive file. Then, when importing a model archive file into another tool, a duplicate of the model is created.
