So currently users create and select the current operation in the top left. The options for the selected operation then appear bottom left. Understanding this connection can difficult at first.
My suggestion would be to group this better, maybe have a kind of fold-in, fold-out system. Like a accordion menu, but without the forged limit that only one item can be open.
So users always see the basic options per operation, like it currently shows the Visible, Combine and Operation options. (I would personally skip Combine here.)
Then when the users folds out the operation he sees options like Ramp Plunge, Direction, Cut depth, Margin etc.
A extra feature would be that users could use the scrubbers to drag the operations and change the order.
