Object from imported CAD file not visible unless it is selected (Color Property issue)
Question Opening a STEP file, the object is not visible unless it is selected, and after a while, I determined that the object appears white against the white TracePro background, so I changed the color. I am not sure whether this is on purpose or not, but I have to select all surfaces to change...
Calculation of the derivative increment during optimization
Question I am attempting to control the derivative increment of some variables during optimization. But whenever I set the derivative increment in the Variables Data Editor, I find that OSLO overrides it during optimization. How can I force OSLO to use my intended values? Synopsis Calculation of...

Changing File Source units between Radiometric and Photometric
Question "I generated a ray file using ProSource 5.2 and inserted a source into TracePro. Everything looks reasonable, I just have a question regarding units: The ProSource file shows a peak intensity of 0.26 Candela while TracePro gives 0.24 W/sr as the peak intensity on the Iso-Candela plot. If I...
