Unsupported GDML Tag Used :multiUnion. Please Check Geometry/Schema

ROOT

Sorry for my ignorance about GDML, XML etc. While importing a gdml file with the gGeomanager, I get the following error

Error: Unsupported GDML Tag Used :multiUnion. Please Check Geometry/Schema.
Error: Unsupported GDML Tag Used :multiUnionNode. Please Check Geometry/Schema.
Error: Unsupported GDML Tag Used :solid. Please Check Geometry/Schema.

Are these objects not supported by ROOT? Or what am I missing?

Thanks,
Thomas

Hi @Tom_Ruf,

I hope, @agheata can help you.

Hi Thomas,
This is a new shape type supported by Geant4 via VecGeom, but not by ROOT yet. No ETA yet for adding ROOT support.

OK, thanks for the prompt answer. So, this is then a dead end for the moment. Would only be possible to use it directly with Geant4.

PS:
What would be the easiest way to visualize a gdml file?
