Hello,
I'm using the following knowledge base article to convert a lens design file (sequential) into it's non-sequential alternative:

Does it also work on black box models? Thank you in advance!

Converting black box lens model to non-sequential version
Best answer by Angel Morales
Hi Ruxandra-Marina!
Currently, Black Box files are not supported in Non-Sequential Mode. They will just be left out of the conversion altogether. So, the only workaround is to see if you can obtain the actual surface information for your black box portions of your system.
However, this specific functionality has been brought up by our users before, so I will go ahead and add your vote to the associated feature request. I have to mention here that a feature request is not a guarantee that the feature will be implemented in a future release, as they are weighed based on impact, functionality, and difficulty to implement. Still, we appreciate all feedback as it helps us shape the future of OpticStudio!
Thanks again -- please feel free to ask any more questions as they come up!
