# Interface
The CAM interface is in most regards the same as the [general interface](/kiri-moto/interface). It is highly reccommended to familiarize yourself with the general interface before using the CAM interface.

With that in mind, here are the key differences:
- Operation list
## Operation List
The Operation list defines the order in which Operations are
done on the model. Selecting the Plus button will open a popup
menu for selecting an Operation to add. The Operations are
draggable, enabling easy re-ordering. An operation can be
disabled by ctrl+clicking it. disabled operations will be
skipped in the slice/preview/export process. Finally,
The thin blue bar in the Operation list is also draggable.
moving the bar automitically disables all operations below it.
This allows you to slice, preview and export up to a specific
point in the timeline

- Origin selection
## Origin Selection
Origin selection, a feature released in v4.3 enables automatically setting an origin to points on interest on the model, including corners and arc centers.

## Top menu
## Top Menu
On the left are buttons to move through the Arrange->Slice->Preview->Export workflow . These buttons are also available as [keyboard shortcuts](/kiri-moto/controls). Selecting an option here will automatically move through the prior steps.
- **Left:** Buttons to move through the `Arrange → Slice → Preview → Export` workflow. These steps are also available as [keyboard shortcuts](/kiri-moto/controls). Selecting an option here will automatically run prior steps as needed.
- **Center:** Clicking the [logo](/kiri-moto) opens a dialog with version selection, helpful links, and your current Kiri:Moto version. If you are unsure which version to use, check the [release notes](https://github.com/GridSpace/grid-apps/releases/) on GitHub.
- **Right:** Options for importing/exporting the workspace, manipulating the view, changing modes, and setting preferences. Kiri:Moto currently supports CAM, FDM, SLA, and LASER modes. Some other modes are extensions of the LASER workflow, but do not have first-class support. The [preferences menu](#preferences) will be covered later in this section.
- Changing the mode updates the left menu and enables/disables mode-specific options such as the `CAM Operation` menu and the `CAM Animate` step.
- Learn about K:M file types [here](/kiri-moto/faq#what-are-the-kmz-and-km-file-formats-short-for).
In the center-top, clicking the [logo](/kiri-moto) opens a dialog with options for version selection, helpful links, and a display of your current version of kiri:moto.
if you are unsure which version to select, you can view the [release notes](https://github.com/GridSpace/grid-apps/releases/) on github.

You can learn about K:M filetypes [here](kiri-moto/faq#what-are-the-kmz-and-km-file-formats-short-for).

Kiri:Moto currently supports CAM, FDM, SLA, and LASER modes. Some other modes are available as extentions of the laser workflow, but do not have first class support. The [prefrences menu](#prefrences) will be discussed later in this section.
## Left menu
The left menu contains options for the current mode. These vary wildly, and although there is ample documentation on the [CAM Process Options](/kiri-moto/cam/processOpts), the same does not yet exist for the other modes. Many of the options will be self-explanitory for those familiar with the mode of manufacturing they are using, and more detail can be found by hovering over the option. Otherwise, a quick google can typically explain what the option does.
## Right menu
The right menu contains controls for the objects in the workspace. Hovering over the arrow on the left of the object will display options for deleting, renaming, disabling, and replacing the object. if an object is disabled, it will be displayed, but will be ignored in slicing and exporting.
The left menu contains options for the current mode. These vary widely:
- CAM has ample documentation on [Process Options](/kiri-moto/cam/processOpts).
- Other modes are less documented but many options are self-explanatory if you're familiar with the manufacturing process.
- Hovering over an option provides tooltips. When in doubt, a quick search usually explains the option in detail.
## Right Menu
The right menu contains controls for objects in the workspace.
- Hovering over the arrow next to an object reveals options for deleting, renaming, disabling, or replacing it.
- Disabled objects remain visible but are ignored during slicing and exporting.
## Machines Dialog
![Device Dialog](/img/interface/CAMDevice.png)
The device dialog can be accessed through the settings dropdown. Once opened, it contains options for configuring a device, or finding a pre-defined one. The device dropdown will only show devices for the current mode. The options inputs will be greyed out and not editable for a stock device. The `customize` button must be selected first, and then the device can be configured. you can find more information about how K:M handles CAM devices [here](/kiri-moto/cam/devices).
The device dialog is accessed through the settings dropdown. It allows you to configure a device or select a predefined one.
- The dropdown only shows devices available for the current mode.
- Stock device settings are greyed out. To modify them, click `Customize`.

## Preferences
Application preferences are accessed through the settings dropdown. They are mode-dependent, but share many common options. For example, CNC preferences show animation controls.
