# Operations
ops, not to be confused with [opps](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/opp-opps) are the operations applied to a model to remove material. The operations tab also contains meta operations that represent parts of the manufacturing process, but do not nessecarity generate toolpaths.
These operation include:
- Toolpath Operations
- Global
- [Outline](#outline)
- [level](#level)
- [rough](#rough)
- [contour](#contour)
- Specific
- [Drill](#drill)
- [Trace](#trace)
- [Pocket](#pocket)
- Other Operations
- [Gcode](#gcode)
- [Register](#register)
- Laser Operations
- [laser on](#laser-on)
- [laser off](#laser-off)
- Indexed Operations
- [Index](#index)
- [lathe](#lathe)
## Global Operations
Operations that apply to all objects in the workspace.
### Outline
![](/img/CAM/outlineExample.png)
The Outline op generates a toolpath surrounding the edges of a part. It is highly configurable and can select both internal or external edges specifically. The Outline operation is great for:
- Cutting out many objects at once
- Generating a rough/finishing pass on an object
- Easily avoiding spefic parts like pockets or holes
## Specific Operations
### Outline
## Laser Mode Only

### Outline
<ImageCarousel base="/img/CAM/example/outline/" images="outline" />
The Outline op generates a toolpath surrounding the edges of a part. It is highly configurable and can select both internal or external edges specifically. The Outline operation is great for:
- Cutting out many objects at once
- Generating a rough/finishing pass on an object
- Easily avoiding spefic features like pockets or holes
### Level
<ImageCarousel base="/img/CAM/example/level/" images="level" />
The Level op creates a flat-surface clearing toolpath across a selected area. It is designed to remove material to a consistent depth, making it useful for preparing stock, flattening uneven surfaces, or cleaning up residual material. The Level operation is great for:
- Surfacing raw stock before detail cuts
- Creating uniform faces on complex objects
- Clearing large areas with consistent depth quickly
### Rough
<ImageCarousel base="/img/CAM/example/rough/" images="rough" />
The Rough op removes large volumes of material quickly using a stepped-down toolpath. It is typically the first pass in a multi-step workflow, clearing space for finishing tools without concern for fine detail. The Rough operation is great for:
- Rapid bulk material removal
- Preparing many parts for finishing simeltaneously.
- Clearing voids or flat faces for many objects at once
- Preparing a part for finish machining
- Preserving tool life by reducing cutting load in later passes
### Contour
<ImageCarousel base="/img/CAM/example/contour/" images="contour" />
The Contour op generates detailed toolpaths for complex organic surface geometries. It can trace along the x or y axis and has configurable precision. It is useful for:
- Carving 3D shapes with organic or curved profiles
- Finishing complex wall geometries
- cleaning up a part after [roughing](#rough)
