Switches the context from "content" to "presentation". Mode commands override default rendering behaviors. Think of it as taking the renderer out of "auto-pilot".

Forces a hard redraw. Not the lazy kind that waits for the next vsync or input idle. An immediate, CPU/GPU-demanding, "redraw every pixel right now" refresh.

Fix: Look for synonyms: "Force repaint", "Full screen update", "Redraw all", "Invalidate entire viewport". viewerframe mode refresh full

In many proprietary viewers (e.g., custom WebGL viewers, simulation dashboards, or even some Unity builds with dev consoles), the command looks like this:

viewer.setMode('fullRefresh');
viewer.refreshFrame();
viewer.render();
// Or as a direct console command:
> viewerframe mode refresh full
> [OK] Buffers cleared. Full redraw complete. 87ms.
