Hello,

Try copy the GateMaterials.db to the folder there are your project macro 
files, and try something like:

/vis/disable

/gate/geometry/setMaterialDatabase    GateMaterials.db

/gate/world/geometry/setXLength       400. cm
/gate/world/geometry/setYLength       400. cm
/gate/world/geometry/setZLength       400. cm

/gate/run/initialize
