Control	Inputs / Description	Defaults
Parent	Displays the name of the tree object that will be the parent of the new prism.	If the Create New Prism dialog was opened by right mouse clicking in the object tree, the parent is the name of the selected tree object. Otherwise, the Geometry folder is the parent.
Name	Displays the name of the prism.	Prism n
Description	Displays the description of the prism.
Type	The list of predefined prisms includes the following: •Abbe (image flip) •Amici (90 deg deviation) •Corner Cube (180 deg deviation) •Cube Beamsplitter (split beam) •Dove (image rotation) •Equilateral (fixed rotation) •Fresnel Rhomb (image rotation) •General (user sets angle) •Leman (image flip) •Pechan (image rotation) •Penta Prism (90 deg deviation) •Porro (180 deg deviation) •Reversion (image rotation) •Right Angle (90 deg deviation) •Schmidt (45 deg deviation) •Wedge (user sets deviation)	Right Angle
All non-optical surfaces are absorbing	Check this to make all non-optical surfaces absorbing. Otherwise, non-optical surfaces are uncoated.	Checked
Auxiliary input 1 (not shown above)	Allows entry of extra data needed to define the prism. Always labeled with the type of data needed.	Varies
Auxiliary input 2 (not shown above)	Allows entry of extra data needed to define the prism. Always labeled with the type of data needed.	Varies
