Error with opening gdml files by Eve

ROOT
1

Dear all,
I am trying to open a gdml file on my macbook pro but I get the following error:

ROOT Version: 6.12/06
Platform, compiler: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3

The Event display is opening but the detector is just partially over-there.

Thanks,
Behzad

I assume Eve is only used as an inteface to TGeo here … so the real question is why TGeo can’t fully read your gdml. I don’t remember who wrote the gdml importer, @agheata most likely does.

How was your gdml created?

In the meantime, can you put boot_eve.C and your gdml file somewhere on the web so that once we identify the person who can help you they can get to it easily.

It look like your gdml file was read; however the root gdml parser has restriction.

Replica Volumes are not supported
Loops are not supported
Matrices are not supported

Also some geometry volumes are not a available.
