<div class=""><p class="">Hi Svetlana,</p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="">I cannot speak to the
examples without testing them myself. However, when using
your STL files, the first warning suggests that the
Materials.xml file is not located in the folder where you
are executing “Gate PET_CYlindricalPet_System.mac”. You can
copy the .xml files into your directory or use softlinks to
reference the location of the .xml files in order to avoid
different versions of the materials/surface files should you
make any edits.</p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="">When loading your STL

problem is due to your STL files. When I load the lsobox STL
files into Slicer 3D, the long axis has a length of 0.15 mm
rather than the desired 15 mm. What program did you use to
create your STL files and have you verified their dimensions
and orientations for loading directly into Gate?</p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="">Cheers,</p><p class="">Matthew</p><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
