Thanks Ivana.
If VMC can handle that shape, I think that many experiments would be interested in using that capability. There are number of crystal ball detectors that are geodesic break-downs resulting in irregular hexagons.
Can I be pushy and ask you what would be a time scale (several months or ...?) for inclusion of TGeoXtru class into vgm?
Also, one more question. From your and a few
other emails I received I realize that I don't
understand the inner workings of VMC with
G4/G3/other MCs. In my concrete case, TGeoXtru
class - extruded polygon, is defined in ROOT,
but not in VMC and Geant4. In order to use that
class in Geant4 via root->Geant4 translation,
is is enough to define that shape in VMC, or
this class also has to be part of Geant4?
Looking at your example vgm.2.07/examples/E02
I thought that my geant4 code would run if
TGeoXtru class is defined in ROOT and
vgm.2.07/packages/Geant4GM/source/solids/
and that something like G4Xtru class is no necessary?
Best Regards, Emil
