Hi Berta,

 

thank you for this. I tried to find the pupil from after the pupil surface using dummies, and it does not work either. 

Also I tried the chief ray height=0 solve, and it also does not work. I had a quick read through the knowledge base article, but as I do not do ZPL it does not help me really. So the solves "pupil position" and "chief ray height =0" do not work, albeit I have seen them working before. There is also no warning that they cannot be applied (as in "marginal ray height", where it tells me the solve cannot be used in this situation), so I wonder what the purpose of those solves are when they cannot be used?

Cheers,

Jurgen
