Hello,
I've been working on a project where I need to include a rectangular mirror type surface in nonsequential mode of OpticStudio. I wanted to choose a coating for it but unfortunately, it seems that I can only do that for a standard lens. However, the object I am dealing with is rectangular shaped and when using the 'Rectangle' object type, I cannot add any coatings to it. I was wondering if there was another object type that could be a rectangle and can have a coating on it?
Thanks!

Hi Sonia,
I'm not on my work laptop anymore, but someone else can confirm what I'm saying.
Have you tried with a Rectangular Volume? From what I remember you can coat this object. Just make its Thickness zero and it'll be nearly the same as a Rectangle.
EDIT: This seem to work on my end, let me know if this works for you too.
Take care,
David

Hi Sonia and David
Yes I confirm what David is saying. Coatings are only available on objects and not on surfaces.
Again thanks David :-)

Thank you so much for the response! And I apologize for my delayed reply. I for some reason didn't get notified of any responses on this.
The rectangular volume did work wonderfully! Thank you again!!
