Create a simple optical system.

opsys = opticalSystem;
addRefractiveSurface(opsys,Radius=9,Material=[1.74 25.4],DistanceToNext=3) 
addRefractiveSurface(opsys,Radius=-9,DistanceToNext=10)
addImagePlane(opsys)

Visualize the optical system in 3-D.

osv3d = view3d(opsys,Title="Convex Lens")

osv3d = 
  OpticalSystemViewer3D with properties:

              Title: [0×0 string]
             Labels: "none"
          ClipAngle: 0
               Rays: [0×0 optics.ui.Rays3D]
    BackgroundColor: [0.9608 0.9608 0.9608]
      GradientColor: [0.9020 0.9020 0.9020]
             Parent: [1×1 Figure]

  Show all properties

Trace rays in the optical system to add to the visualization. Observe that rays contains three ray bundles.

rays = traceRays(opsys)

rays=1×3 RayBundle array with properties:
    1×1 RayBundle    1×1 RayBundle    1×1 RayBundle

You can add only one ray bundle to a 3-D visualization. Add one of the ray bundles from the traced rays to the visualization.

addRays(osv3d,rays(1))

Explode the visualization. The explosion moves each component in the optical system visualization radially outward to enable you to better visualize the internal structure of the optical system.

explode(osv3d)

Restore the visualization to its state before the explosion.

unexplode(osv3d)

Show only the lens element, which is the first optical component, in the visualization.

showComponents(osv3d,1)

Remove the rays from the visualization.

removeRays(osv3d)

Add component labels to the visualization.

osv3d.Labels = "component";
