We should leave this feature request open until somebody finds the motivation to implement it

suggestions: yes, see my comment from Apr 24, 2022 motivation: not really

Here is a similar feature request from the [FreeCAD forum](https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=59860&sid=6689e569fe21868576541da71feca84b&start=170#p678645) I think the input parameters are covered already, as the power reflection coefficient(s) R depend only on the refractive index...

Changes in the Lens properties do not have any influence on the present rays automatically any more. You have to trigger (Re)start Simulation manually to get the rays updated. I...

Here is a quite short description: https://github.com/chbergmann/CurvedShapesWorkbench#-surface-cut Maybe the CrossSections function in the Part workbench is a better alternative for you. See https://wiki.freecad.org/Part_CrossSections I wrote the SurfaceCut because the CrossSections...

The problem is that the outer base shapes are lying on the border line and FreeCAD cannot calculate its with. I could solve this by adding a very small offset...

The Optics workbench uses the OpenCascade library to calculate the intersection points between a ray and the curves or surfaces. In some cases it does not return intersection points for...

The workbench itself is programmed in Python, but it makes use of a C++ library called opencascade. The workbench calculates the intersection points of a ray segment with all faces...
