# The Workspace

Two panels: a 3D viewport on the right, a chat panel on the left.

## Viewport

Shows your 3D model. Navigate with your mouse:

* **Orbit**: left-click and drag
* **Pan**: right-click and drag
* **Zoom**: scroll wheel
* **Select**: click an object — its name appears in the chat input, and the agent knows what you're pointing at

## Chat

Type at the bottom. The agent's work streams above — thinking, tool calls (collapsible), and responses.

* **Enter**: send message
* **Shift+Enter**: new line
* **Escape**: cancel the agent mid-work

## Modes

The mode toggle at the bottom of the chat switches between three modes:

* **Build**: the agent creates and modifies 3D geometry. This is the default.
* **Plan**: the agent can read and inspect the model, but won't change it. Use this to discuss design decisions, explore approaches, or review what you have before committing to changes.
* **Sketch**: the agent creates 2D geometry only (lines, arcs, curves on the ground plane). Use this to explore layouts before building in 3D.

## Toolbar

At the bottom of the viewport:

* **Undo / Redo**: step backward or forward through checkpoints. Cmd+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z (Windows).
* **Share**: generate a read-only link anyone can view.
* **Export**: IFC file (full 3D model) or SVG drawings (plan, front, right, top).
* **Settings**: adjust viewport opacity.

## Checkpoints

The agent creates a checkpoint after each action. These appear as markers in the chat. Click any checkpoint to restore your model to that exact state — geometry, chat history, everything.

This means you can experiment freely. If something goes wrong, jump back.

## Projects

Your work saves automatically when signed in. Open the sidebar (hamburger menu, top-left) to see your projects, rename them, or start a new one.

## 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:

```
GET https://docs.studio.cogram.com/the-workspace.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
