# Surface Locations Pane

The surface Locations pane contains icons for Select/Move mode, icons for the default locations, and the Defaults button. The surface Locations pane is located at the left side of the Locations tab.

## Select/Move

The Select/Move mode allows you to select locations in the 2D Canvas and move them to different locations on the canvas.

## Location

The Location tool creates a location every time you click in the 2D Canvas.

Each location is given a default name of location_<number>, where the number is the next unused incremental integer. You can change the name of the location to something more descriptive using the Name field in the Location Properties pane.

## Stockpile

The Stockpile tool creates a stockpile every time you click in the 2D Canvas.

Each stockpile is given a default name of stockpile_<number>, where the number is the next unused incremental integer. You can change the name of the stockpile to something more descriptive using the Name field in the Location Properties pane.

## Process

The Process tool creates a process every time you click in the 2D Canvas.

Each process is given a default name of process_<number>, where the number is the next unused incremental integer. You can change the name of the process to something more descriptive using the Name field in the Location Properties pane.

## Fill Location

The Fill Location tool creates a fill location every time you click in the 2D Canvas.

Each fill location is given a default name of fill_<number>, where the number is the next unused incremental integer. You can change the name of the fill location to something more descriptive using the Name field in the Location Properties pane.
