The Slicing interface of C6 is the main graphic user interface for users to load 3D part files and slice them to get machine-readable g-code files. The interface contains all the options to

* Rotate, pan, zoom the scene | Translate, rotate, scale the objects
* Change print settings and printers
* Visualize g-code in detail before downloading and printing
* Playback any g-code layer to see how the part will be printed
* Save job | Save g-code on local system | Send to Printer

Slicing Interface is divided into two main sections

1. [**Prepare Section**](/slicing-interface/prepare.md) - This is where the 3D part file(s) is/are loaded, manipulated, print settings are changed and object is sent for slicing
2. [**Preview Section**](/slicing-interface/preview.md) - This section receives the sliced/loaded g-code and user can visualize the g-code layer-by-layer, or playback each layer to see how the print will progress. User can visualize various parts of the g-code separately
