# MoveToFrbLayer

### Introduction

MoveToFrbLayer can be used to move a GraphicalUiElement to a FlatRedBall layer. For information on moving objects to a layer in Glue, see the [Adding Gum Components to Layers](/flatredball/gum/how-to-add-components-to-layers.md) page. At the time of this writing, Gum objects can only exist on one FlatRedBall/Gum layer.

### Gum Layers vs FlatRedBall Layers

Gum and FlatRedBall use two completely separate rendering systems. Visual objects in Gum cannot be directly added to FlatRedBall layers. To address this, the Gum plugin provides some methods to allow Gum objects to exist on FlatRedBall layers using the MoveToFrbLayer method. Internally, this is supported by Glue generating a Gum layer for every Glue layer. This association is stored in the current Gum screen (of type GumIdb ).

### Code Example

The following code shows how to move an object named ButtonInstance to a FlatRedBall Layer named UiLayer. This code assumes that GumScreen is a valid Gum screen (which is of type GumIdb ).

```lang:c#
ButtonInstance.MoveToFrbLayer(UiLayer, GumScreen);
```

## 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.flatredball.com/flatredball/api/gum-runtime-api/gum-wireframe-graphicaluielement/movetofrblayer.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.
