Hello,

Thanks for the response! The difference between the two LDEs is that in the first one, the Coordinate Breaks have 0 for Tilt about Z. The second LDE has 90 and -90 for Tilt about Z. All I hope to achieve is a 90 degree rotation of one element, so I believe this should be enough.

I’m attaching a picture of what I hope to achieve by rotating:

As you can see the beam can be collimated, it's just currently in the wrong axis. This screenshot was achieved by rotating the entire coordinate system in the 3D Viewer, but I would expect to see the same results by only rotating the cyindrical lens in the LDE.
