You can now add Ray History Sensors to the majority of the LucidShape CAA sensors, now including the Planar Lux Sensor, the Surface Sensor, and the License Plate Sensor. Combined with the Surface Filter in dynamic mode, you can use the Restore from Sensor tool to explore partial light distributions or ray paths for selected actor surfaces without needing to run an additional simulation.

If you are working with a ray file light source, you can override the flux provided in a ray file without creating a new ray file.

There is a new tool to enable you to add glyphs showing the surface normal at positions you determine along a surface. These positions are saved so you can show and hide the glyphs as needed.

There are several improvements to MacroFocal design features in the LucidShape CAA Design Module.

• Ability to define global shift, scaling, and stretch to all spreads in a MacroFocal design.
• Ability to define a set of spreads and save them to apply them to facets using a Spread Table.
• A new "Simple Spread" algorithm for use in designs with hundreds or thousands of facets.
• A spread adjustment tool you can use to easily tweak settings with a few clicks instead of entering different sets of numbers.
• When designing lenses, you can include the base surface during the calculation but optionally exclude the base surface from the resulting actor.
