problem loading physvol from file

[nicolaseavalos]

I am trying to open a somewhat complex geometry, which loads a "physvol" from a file. I was able to mock the bug with a minimal example, which I send attached (I changed the extension to "xml" so I can upload them here). I can load "part.gdml" correctly. However, I when I load "assembly.gdml" it finds the path to "part.gdml", but when it tries to parse the volumes it does not find the appropriate solids.

assembly.xml part.xml

(EDIT) I am using FreeCAD 0.21.2 and the GDML Workbench v2.0.1 Beta, installed from the Addon Manager.

Thanks for reporting.

May I ask did you create the assembly.xml file by hand? Or Are you trying to use one of the Assembly workbenches in conjunction with the GDML workbench?

I have created it by hand. It loads correctly in geant4. I have also added "importFlag" as the first positional argument of function "processPhysVolFile" (line 3195 of importGDML.py) and to the call to "processVol" in line 3226.

This is what is printed in the console:

Please could you try branch 164fix.

Sorry it has taken a long time but it has taken me a long while to resolve an issue on my machine.

If you can let me know if it is now resolved I will merge into Main

Thanks

Hello Keith,

Thanks for addressing the issue. However, after checking out to this branch, I still run into the same issue. This is the full console output: console_output.txt

However, I have found a workaround: define all the solids in a "solids.xml" file, then add the corresponding ENTITY to the header of the gdml file, then add the reference in the section. With this, which is in my opinion a clean way, I don't have issues.
