Can You Cut Geometries in GATE Like in MCNPX?

[Alexander Camargo]

Hi every one. As you all know, in MCNPX you can define different geometries and cut them with each other and create new irregular geometries. For example, you can cut a sphere with a cylinder and create a semi spherical geometry within the cross section of cylinder. now Here is my question: is this feature available in GATE or not?
I want to create a semi cylinder.

I don't know GATE at all. The underlying GEANT4 appears to support this, but the only relevant info I can find in the GATE manual is that volumes are not allowed to intersect. That is not a great sign.

The only other thing I've found is on their listserv.

If you get no other replies here, I think your options are to play around with the program or join the mailing list and ask.

I resolved my problem. I imported the Stl file from Openscad for Gate.
Thanks for the help
