Custom structure in Lumerical FDTD

Hello, I want to create an elliptical ring(3D) and I believe I can only create the structure from the structure group or import it.Is there an example code I can build from or one for an elliptical ring?

Dear Subscriber,

Please search for 'ring' in the Object Library. There are several options that you may find helpful.
Also, the Waveguide - Simulation Object provides flexibility to define various shapes.

Best regards,

Thank you for the reply Kirill. I did check the options in the object libary. My hope was there was a way I could modify the ring cylinder into an ellipse since the cylinder ring geometry is close to what I want for my structure, I only need to make it an ellipse.

Dear Subscriber,

Did you check the settings for the ring cylinder? It has a 'make ellipsoid' option.

Yes I have, 

 

unfortunately the version that I have access to does not have that option on the geometry settings

Dear Subscriber,

Which version are you using?
