Hello Gate users.

I'm trying to simulate a Voxelized Phantom(Brain Phantom) in a PET system now. 


But when I run the GATE , I have following error

=====================================================

 PANIC! - G4SmartVoxelHeader::BuildNodes()
         Daughter physical volume hof_brainVoxel_PVP
         is entirely outside mother logical volume hof_brain_L !!

*** G4Exception : InvalidSetup
      issued by : G4SmartVoxelHeader::BuildNodes()
Overlapping daughter with mother volume.
*** Fatal Exception *** core dump ***

*** G4Exception: Aborting execution ***
Aborted

=====================================================
