Moving 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 move surfaces on the planar view:

  1. Set mouse mode to Select.
  2. Cick and drag to make a selection box that contains the optical axis and the vertices (axis crossings) of the surfaces you want to move (if surface vertices are touching, see here).
  3. Move the mouse over the darker area of the selection box about the optical axis, so the cursor turns into the left-right cursor (cursor).
  4. Depress the mouse button and move the mouse left-right to move the surfaces.
