The Part Designer Tab

The Zemax Part Designer (ZPD) is an interface that allows users to create and manipulate geometries in an environment separate from OpticStudio.  Special features such as the "Ghost View" and On-The-Go Geometry creation allow users to quickly build, assess, and modify individual steps leading up to the final object.  Using the ZPD console, users may quickly modify and add commands and operations to a geometry model and generate results within moments.  Overall, the Part Designer allows for a streamlined process to incorporate solid 3-D geometry into the user's OpticStudio non-sequential designs.
