Overview

This tool is used to redirect an optical (laser) beam that is emitted by a Beam Emitter component. The Beam Reflector simulates a perfect reflection of an incoming beam on the hit surface. This means that a single incoming beam gets redirected as a single outgoing beam where Anglein = Angleout.
