[Gate-users] LET Actor "setRestricted" and "setOtherMaterial" commands not found?

[Cassandra Miller]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the response! That makes sense about the SetRestricted 
option. However, I still can't seem to get setOtherMaterial to work:

[G4-cerr] ***** COMMAND NOT FOUND </gate/actor/MyActor/setOtherMaterial 
G4_WATER> *****

And this material is already initiated in the geometry. Sorry if this is 
a dumb question, but what is the difference between the develop version 
and the regular gate version 9?

Best,
Cassandra
