[Gate-users] How to rotate a volume in two direction?

[Peyman Ghahramani]

Hi Mery,

You can define 2 seperate volume for 2 rotation.
The first volume material can be Air for first rotation (90 degree around X) and the second volume as daughter of first one for second rotation (6 degree around z) with main material.

Peyman
