[Gate-users] Rotate the source position

[Brent Huisman]

Hi Sonoko,

What if you do not attach your source? Perusing the Gate documentation it seems after attachment, the position of the source is meant to be controlled by the volume it is attached to. See http://wiki.opengatecollaboration.org/index.php/Users_Guide_V7.0:Source#Attach_to_a_volume

Cheers,
Brent
