Re: A question about TGeo volumes

Hello,

then another question: when I try to draw those volumes, I don't manage to find a visLevel value which allws me to view both, in order to check appropriately that they are properly placed. Speaking the truth, this composite volume is then a node of another volume. I tried to give a transparency to the container, in order to see the content, but it makes the whole container transparend and I see what is behind it, but not what is INSIDE it. How can I do?

Thanks, best regards
