[Gate-users] How to insert a slant hole into a plate

[Yanfei Mao]

Dear all,

I want to insert a slant hole into a plate. My strategy is that first insert a hole which is longer than the thickness of the plate, then change the orientation of the hole.
My code:


/gate/collimator/daughters/name hole
/gate/collimator/daughters/insert hexagone
/gate/hole/geometry/setHeight 9.4 cm
/gate/hole/geometry/setRadius 0.5 cm
/gate/hole/placement/setThetaOfTranslation 30 deg
/gate/hole/placement/setPhiOfTranslation 20 deg
/gate/hole/setMaterial Air

The problem is no matter how I change the angle of theta and phi, the geometry of the hole doesn't change at all. I also try to call function setTheta and setPhi, but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to do it? I use GATE v5.0.

Thank  you!
Yanfei Mao
