Thanks Mike. I think what I'm trying to do is a bit different
than that. I'll try to illustrate it using your example...
Your example placed two shapes at the origin, but I'd like to
place them in a particular orientation relative to each other to
build up a sub-detector, say like this:
_________ ____
| Big ||sml |
| ||____|
| |
| |
|_________|
Then I want to take several things that are a combination of Big
and sml and arrange them to build up my detector, say like this:
____ _________ _________ ____
| lms|| giB | | Big ||sml |
|____|| | | ||____|
| | | |
| | | |
|_________| |_________|
_________ _________
| | | |
| | | |
____ | | | | ____
| lms|| giB | | Big ||sml |
|____||_________| |_________||____|
The actual geometry is more complex than this sketch, so I don't
want to place each individual shape many times. Instead I'd like
to build the sub-detector combination once and place it many
times. But I haven't been able to see how I can add a node to a
parent node's list, but in different positions. Is this
possible? Maybe not and each shape has to be positioned
separately each time, but I suspect/hope that it is just that I'm
not seeing how to work with node lists effectively.
Mike
