[gate-users] Rotation problem

[D.J. van der Laan]

For a scanner I am trying to model in Gate, I have a trapezoid I would 
like to repeat in a ring around the z-axis. In order to do this, I first 
need to rotate the module around the y-axis (or x). However, when 
repeating it subsequently around the z-axis using the ring-repeater with 
the auto-rotation option on, the trapezoid itself is rotated around the 
y-axis. I have attached an illustration that shows the problem for a 
cylinder. (Cylinders have the same problem.)

Does anyone know of a way to do this? Any help would be very much 
appreciated.

Regards,

Jan


PS Placing the trapezoid in a box that is repeated is not possible, 
since the boxes would then overlap, because the trapezoids are placed 
too close to each other.
