Contents Optical Part Design » Optical Surface » Optical Surface ParametersPrint page Optical Surface Parameters This section provides more information about the parameters to set when creating an optical surface. This section contains the following topics:Source TypesThis page describes the different types of sources available when designing an optical surface.SupportThe support drives the construction of the surface's elements. Elements can be built on a Parabolic or Freeform surface.Custom ContourCustom contour allows you to select a surface body that will be used as a pattern to trim the Optical Part Design feature. This will give the feature a particular shape created out of the surface body contour.StyleThis section describes all grid types available to design an optical surface.ManufacturingThe Manufacturing section allows you to consider and anticipate mechanical constraints coming from the surface's manufacture.TargetThe target defines how the results are going to be interpreted in the feature viewer.BeamThis section provides information on the beam types available when designing an optical surface.Support (Element)This page describes the parameters to set when working with a Parabolic or Freeform support. « Understanding the Excel FileSource Types »
