Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can use these commands with a source. 


You have to use the Geant4 General Particle Source (gps) commands to position a source. 


See the Geant4 gps user's manual here: http://reat.space.qinetiq.com/gps/new_gps_sum_files/gps_sum.htm 




But I believe a simpler alternative is to attach the source to a volume and place (or move) the volume as you wish.

Hello Gate users, 

My computer is MacBook Pro(Mac OSX), and I am using gate v6.2. 

When I use /gate/source/[source name]/setRotationAxis 1 0 0 
/gate/source/[source name]/setRotationAngle 90 deg 

I got an error message: 

***** COMMAND NOT FOUND </gate/source/[source name]/setRotationAxis 1 0 0 > ***** 

Can someone help me? 

Thank you, 

Sonoko
