Separating surfaces from objects that have been combined during translation from a CAD Program
Question I have an optical system for which the file is generated in a mechanical CAD program. I imported the system into TracePro from a Step file. The result being that the whole system became a single object. Is it possible to consolidate a few surfaces into one object, such that I can define...

Converting measured scatter data into a TracePro Surface Property
Question I have measured scatter data, and I want to use this data to create a Surface Property in TracePro. What options are available? Synopsis Converting measured scatter data into a TracePro Surface Property Solution The TracePro Surface Property Generator can be used to convert many scatter...
Determining Angle of Incidence from an Incident Ray Table
Question How can I determine the angle of an incidence for a ray relative to the surface that it intersects? Synopsis Determining Angle of Incidence from an Incident Ray Table Solution The Incident Ray Table provides the XYZ direction vectors for the ray, but these are relative to the coordinate...
Saving Irradiance Maps as Text Files, and saving Ray Data
Question (1) How do I save the illuminance map as a text file? I have been looking at the menu and cannot find the right selection. How does the 'save raydata' option work? where does it save the raydata? How do I reload the saved ray data? --------------------------------------------- (2) I have...
Image File for Bitmap Source
File needed to perform the tutorial detailed in the Bitmap Source Users Manual. The Bitmap Source Module is a utility program reads an image (e.g. jpeg file) and creates a Ray File that can be inserted into a TracePro model as a file source. The Bitmap Source feature is available in the TracePro...

Defective Object Warning Message
Question I have created a large elliptical reflector with focal length 1 = 100,000 mm, focal length 2 = 10,000 mm, and z position = 55,000 mm. The reflector has approximately 200 surfaces. When I perform a ray-trace, the Audit gives a Defective Object warning message, but the ray-trace appears to...
