So FreeCAD can be used for optics too. Thanks for sharing, I learned something new.

This is awesome. I've been wondering how I could pull this off in freecad for a while now.

Very nice work :D :D :D!!! I'm curious: How did you do a fast representation of the rays? makeLine is not that fast. Did you use the functions from the Draft workbench?

Best wishes

I am using Part.makeLine(). All rays are then bundeled to a compound and added to the Ray object in the FreeCAD view. See Ray.py in the workbench source code.
