Is there a way to plot symmetrical rays in non-sequential mode?

I want to make a presentation and need to include some NSC 3D layout plots from non-sequential mode. I know the rays displayed are randomly chosen, but is there a way to choose symmetrical rays, so as to have a similar effect as the plots produced in sequential mode?


 


Thank you.

Hi Elisavet,

I posted something on this earlier, which can be found here**.

In the post you will see two PDFs documenting the use of two source file DLLs: YFan.dll and Ring.dll. They can be installed by opening the attached demo file Ring.zar. The PDFs should tell you everything you need to know, but if not then please ask.

You could of course generate fans and rings using multiple source ray objects, but I find the dll method easier to enter and maintain  

Kind regards,

David
