<brief_description>
Parent of all visual 3D nodes.
</brief_description>
<description>
The [VisualInstance] is used to connect a resource to a visual representation. All visual 3D nodes inherit from the [VisualInstance]. In general, you should not access the [VisualInstance] properties directly as they are accessed and managed by the nodes that inherit from [VisualInstance]. [VisualInstance] is the node representation of the [VisualServer] instance.

<methods>
<method name="get_aabb" qualifiers="const">
<return type="AABB">
</return>
<description>
Returns the [AABB] (also known as the bounding box) for this [VisualInstance].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_base" qualifiers="const">
<return type="RID">
</return>
<description>
Returns the RID of the resource associated with this [VisualInstance]. For example, if the Node is a [MeshInstance], this will return the RID of the associated [Mesh].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_instance" qualifiers="const">
<return type="RID">
</return>
<description>
Returns the RID of this instance. This RID is the same as the RID returned by [method VisualServer.instance_create]. This RID is needed if you want to call [VisualServer] functions directly on this [VisualInstance].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_layer_mask_bit" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="layer" type="int">
</argument>
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] when the specified layer is enabled in [member layers] and [code]false[/code] otherwise.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_transformed_aabb" qualifiers="const">
<return type="AABB">
</return>
<description>
Returns the transformed [AABB] (also known as the bounding box) for this [VisualInstance].
Transformed in this case means the [AABB] plus the position, rotation, and scale of the [Spatial]'s [Transform].
</description>
</method>
<method name="set_base">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="base" type="RID">
</argument>
<description>
Sets the resource that is instantiated by this [VisualInstance], which changes how the engine handles the [VisualInstance] under the hood. Equivalent to [method VisualServer.instance_set_base].
</description>
</method>
<method name="set_layer_mask_bit">
<return type="void">
</return>
<argument index="0" name="layer" type="int">
</argument>
<argument index="1" name="enabled" type="bool">
</argument>
<description>
Enables a particular layer in [member layers].

The render layer(s) this [VisualInstance] is drawn on.
This object will only be visible for [Camera]s whose cull mask includes the render object this [VisualInstance] is set to.
