Hello VMCtalkers,
I have a question for ROOT/VMC developers.
I am re-writing my groups detector simulation
from Geant3 into Geant4. The best/most readable
option would be to use the TGeoXtru class that
is available in the current Root release.
(Our detector is a geodesic break-down
of sphere with regular pentagons and irregular
hexagons, that can be modelled as extruded polygons.
The alternative is more cumbersome - making
a single irregular hex out of 6 general
trapeziods.)
But, as I can see, TGeoXtru geometry is not yet included in root/vmc/src/TGeoMCGeometry.cxx nor in vgm.2.07/packages//RootGM/source/solids - when I try to interface my detector.root with geant4, error results:
VGM info: Importing shape: TGeoXtru
RootGM::Factory::ImportSolid:
Unsupported shape type (shape 'TGeoXtru")
*** Error: Aborting execution ***
So, my question: are the additions of new primitive solid shapes coming soon to VMC?
Best Regards,
Emil Frlez
