SubscriberHi,
I followed this example: GDSII Export Automation (https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500006203341) trying to export my grating coupler structure. As shown below, the z min and z max I set for layer 1 were exactly the value of my structure. However, this script did not detect my structure and generated an empty .gds file. Can you help me solve this issue? Thank you so much
Best regards,

Ansys EmployeeHello, seems like no layer is detected here.
- Have you tried the example file? does that work?
- Make sure the all geometries you are trying to extact has same layer def as given in script. eg, for ring make sure zmin is 0 and zmax is 0.9
Thanks
