[Gate-users] How to create this - slant hole in a plate

[Vesna Cuplov]

Hello,

I am not totally sure about the geometry you want to create for the hole
but I added the following
volume in Gate v6.2 which is an Elliptical Tube. You might try it and see
if it suites your needs.

See the User's guide:
http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V6.2:Defining_a_geometry

and

http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/G4UsersDocuments/UsersGuides/ForApplicationDeveloper/html/Detector/geomSolids.html
(G4EllipticalTube)

and

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CylindricalSegment.html

Don't know if it will help.
