# What is the Editor?
The Editor is Archisketch's proprietary furniture layout and floor plan creation tool. It’s the screen you encounter when you create a new project or import a floor plan. In this space, you can draw floor plans, place furniture and finishes, and create renderings.
## Basic Controls for the Editor Screen
#### Panning / Angle Adjustment
When you enter the editor and open a drawing, you can use the mouse to pan the screen and adjust the angle.\
There are slight differences in controls between 2D mode and 3D mode, so please refer to the information below!
**2D mode**
| Function | Controls |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Panning** | Mouse click (left/right both available) |
| **Zoom In/Out** | Zoom in/out with the mouse scroll wheel |
**3D mode**

## 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.archisketch.com/guide/user-en/make-project/what-is-editor.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
