Dynamic Lighting Windows (that can't be passed through but seen through)

So as the title suggested, I've figured out a way to help those of you with Dynamic Lighting available. If you want a barrier that you can see through but not allow passage, then use the Circle/ Ellipse tool on your Dynamic Lighting Layer. A bigger circle would work, but the Bottom-Left Quarter  of the circle is not complete and allows passage into the center of the circle. Your players would still be stuck from exiting out an other direction except it's basically a "Doorway" into the center so they'd just have to back track. A way I've helped remedy this is make multiple smaller circles over lapping the area I don't want to pass. Hope this helps or if I'm wrong, let me know!

I'm also currently using this for Counter tops as well for my players. If they wanna jump onto the table or perhaps leap over it, yeah I could always remove and allow it, but it at lease restricts the movement before hand. Also could be used for Force Cage  in DND5e. Not sure of any other games with Barrier Spells or abilities that would have restricted move movement but allow sight. Just make a Circle to desired spell size and drop your players in. But you'd have to close in the bottom corner with smaller multiples of the circles or similar sized circle over lapping.
Could you post a screen shot example and some instructions?
