The pupil position is highlighted in yellow and it was set manually. See the thickness of 19.5mm in surface 3, the lens surface just before the pupil:&nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/29-10-2024-1730207259-mceclip0.png\" width=\"705\" height=\"130\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/29-10-2024-1730207320-mceclip1.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now changing the solve on this thickness to &#8220;U&#8221; for pupil position:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/29-10-2024-1730207781-mceclip2.png\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/29-10-2024-1730207802-mceclip3.png\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/29-10-2024-1730207826-mceclip4.png\" width=\"260\" height=\"142\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I tried all sorts. Even putting another dummy surface in, the new surface thickness with pupil distance remains zero:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/29-10-2024-1730207958-mceclip5.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just always get zero for the thickness when I try a pupil solve. Is this a Zemax error or did I overlook anything?
