# Render Modes

The [Render Modes options](/layout/layout-overview-1/interface-overview/layout-options-toolbar/render-mode-options.md) contain multiple options for each layout object type that give you control over their visibility. Most objects are displayed in wireframe by default so that you can see where each object exists while still being able to see through it to other objects.

These settings can always be toggled while viewing a layout, and your changes will only apply to the current session and are not saved.

It is also possible to switch between 2D and 3D display when in layout mode.

{% hint style="success" %}
Tip

While in 3D mode, you can hold the `Shift` key and click-and-drag on the scene to change perspective.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.paragontruss.com/layout/explanation/render-modes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
