Separating surfaces
We have begun to implement the ability to interact with lens elements on the Planar view. The present implementation is based the axis-crossings of the surfaces, not on the surfaces themselves. This will be improved in the next version of the software.
To separate surfaces on the planar view:
- Set mouse mode to Select.
- Cick and drag to make a selection box just after the surface you want to pull away from the surface that precedes it. Cross the optical axis, but do not cross any surfaces (the the picture below).
- Move the mouse over the darker area of the selection box
about the optical axis, so the cursor turns into the
left-right cursor (
).
- Click and drag (depress the mouse button and move the mouse to the right).
