# Modes

In the "**Modes**" tab of the 3D Studio, you can choose one of four operating modes that allow you to create, edit, and present your projects. Each mode offers specific functions and applications.

**Layout Mode** allows you to create and edit layouts directly “on the floor.” In this mode, you can:

- Design spatial projects for production halls.
- Define work areas, storage zones, transport routes, and other layout elements.
- Add descriptions to each area, providing other project participants with comprehensive information about the respective space.

### **Construction Mode**

**Build Mode** enables the creation of detailed 3D visualizations of your production areas. In this mode, you can:

- Place 3D models of machines, robots, production lines, and human operators within the scene.
- Create virtual representations of your facility to enhance understanding and planning of processes.
- Adjust the appearance and settings of objects to closely replicate real-world conditions.

### **Animation Mode**

**Animation Mode** brings your workstations and production lines to life through movement. In this mode, you can:

- Create motion animations for machines, robots, and operators.
- Simulate production processes and interactions between different system components.
- Test and optimize movement sequences to improve production efficiency.

### **Presentation Mode**

**Presentation Mode** allows you to set up desired camera perspectives for optimal visualization of operations and production processes. In this mode, you can:

- Position cameras at various locations and angles or for specific timeframes to achieve ideal views.
- Create multimedia presentation materials that clearly illustrate operations and production processes.
- Record your screen during the presentation to easily share it with your team and stakeholders.
