High resolution spectra of KH 15D have been obtained at a variety of elevations of star A with respect to the occulting edge of its circumbinary disk. The optical light variations provide information on the opacity distribution, which comes from the solid component. Here we employ measurements of the NaI D lines to measure the vertical distribution of gas density. Comparing the gas and dust distributions allows us to model the degree of settling of the dust in this transition disk.
