[Gate-users] Importing the entire "WORLD" from gdml file into Gate

[Andreas Menzel]

Dear Gate community,

actually, I had asked this before but I guess the subject was not too 
clear and it got buried in other topics. So, here my question is again:

In the meantime I finally succeeded in importing individual logical 
volumes from a GDML file. I created a class GateGDMLVolume to achieve 
this which inherits from GateVVolume and whose objects are inserted into 
the GateObjectChild list.

Now, in some situations, it would be helpful to import the entire 
geometry described by a GDML file, i.e. replace the world volume which 
is provided by GateDetectorConstruction on startup. Which way to do this 
would you think is the cleanest and easiest-to-use later? What I would 
like to do is to import everything by means of two commands or even one, 
i.e. setting the GDML file name and perhaps stating that I want to 
import everything from it (using G4GDMLParser::GetWorldVolume).

Thanks a lot for your help!

Andreas Menzel
