# Unified Render

Even with **Group Folders** and **Auxiliary Animations**, if you need more room to animate, have no fear the **Unified Renderer** is here! This allows you to create an all new instance of the Element plugin on the same layer that will render in your scene.

Simply duplicate your Element effect or add another instance from the effects tab at the top. Then set the bottom instance **Render Mode** to **Unified.**

The you can go in the scene setup and adjust your scene and it will interact with the above instance, but still acts as a fresh instance.&#x20;

You can chain together as many instances as you need. Element will use the top most layer's render settings.

## 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://video-copilot.gitbook.io/element2/animating-3d-objects/unified-render.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.
