# Render Modes

There are several options available when viewing a layout. Below is a list of component types and their associated options. Refer to Render Mode Options and the Render Modes Explanation for more information.

### Visible

Outlined object with no flll coloring.

### Hatched

Available for Bearing Envelopes, hatching is applied in 2D view only.

Hatching is applied based on the Top Elevation property according to the following:

* Bearings with the most common Top Elevation in the project (based on quantity of Bearing Envelope objects) do not receive hatching.
* A unique hatching pattern is applied to walls of varying Top Elevation properties.
* Hatching color is applied based on the Structural vs. Non-Structural property.
