Space Filled With Medium

This element is a distance between two reference planes in a medium with an index of refraction n. The element has the same matrix as Empty Space, but the index of refraction affects beam radius in the medium.

Unlike Plate of Matter, this element doesn’t imply any interfaces. To get proper results, you should put appropriate interface elements at both sides of the medium.
