How to restrain the refracted rays?

Hello!
I build a Ray Tracing model. I want to compute the intensity of the reflected rays and the source rays, the refracted ray should not be included. How to restrain the refracted rays?

Hi, if you only want to see the reflected rays, you can go to the "Filter" subnode of the Ray Trajectories plot and in the "Rays to include" combobox, select "Secondary". In the Geometrical Optics interface, "Secondary" refers to the reflected rays and "Primary" refers to the refracted rays.
