HOW TO SET UP A SEQUENCE OF OPTICAL AXES (c) 2015 M.Lampton STELLAR SOFTWARE The easy way is to use coordinate breaks. A "CB" is a pair of plano surfaces in in your optical system, named CBin and CBout. The job of CBin is to interrupt the ray trace and capture the local coordinates {x,y,z,u,v,w} of each ray. The job of CBout is to restart the ray trace at its surface, using the coordinates that were captured by CBin.
