Hi,

You’re almost done in your example 🙂 You need to give the profile “Channel_air” a thickness. To do this:
* go to the materials and profiles designer (Edit->Profiles and materials…) and open the properties of the channel named Channel_air.
* In the 3D profile definition section, put a value in Thickness (for example 5 for 5 um), click Add
* Store the channel by clicking on the Store button (top-left corner)

If you go back to OptiFDTD_Designer, you should be able to see the cylinders in the 3D editor tab

I hope this helps

Best regards

Aurelien
