nonsequential mode NSC 3D layout different from detector viewer

I did optimization in nonsequencial mode, from NSC 3D layout, it looks I have a big rectangular beam on the detector, however, when I use the detector viewer, after ray tracing (clear&trace), I found the beam size is much smaller (10 times smaller) than shown on NSC 3D layout, am I missing something here? Can I get some help? Thanks a lot.

On the 3D layout, rays are traced all in the same way no matter how much intensity they carry. So the 3D layout can be a bit misleading and the Detector Viewer gives a good quantitative result. Let us know if you'd like us to have a look at your file.
