To switch on the fly between the 3D and 2D preview of any Favorite, hover your cursor over the preview and click Shift.

If no 3D content is available, then 2D Previews are used.

Notes: 

The 3D Previews are OpenGL-based and automatically generated from generic elements. Some settings (e.g. Beam/Column/Wall slant angle) are ignored to improve clarity.

To see contours on the 3D Preview, make sure the Work Environment option is checked: Show Contours on Favorites and Library Part Preview. (Options > Work Environment > On-Screen Options).
