We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

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.
