In IDF: Combine components into one shape

[Anders Markvardsen]

As an alternative to define a geometric shape consisting of part allow the following notation in an IDF:

<component type="adjusted cuboid" idlist="adjust cuboid">

<location />

</component>

<component type="cuboid1" idlist="normal cuboid">

<location z="3"/>

</component>

<type name="adjusted cuboid" is="detector">

<combine-components-into-one-shape /> <component type="cuboid1">

<location name="A"/> <location name="B" y="10" rot="90" axis-x="1" axis-y="0" axis-z="0" />

</component> <algebra val="A : B" />

</type>

<type name="cuboid1" is="detector">

<cuboid id="bob">

<left-front-bottom-point x="0.5" y="-5.0" z="-0.5" /> <left-front-top-point x="0.5" y="-5.0" z="0.5" /> <left-back-bottom-point x="-0.5" y="-5.0" z="-0.5" /> <right-front-bottom-point x="0.5" y="5.0" z="-0.5" />

</cuboid>

</type>

An examination of the test showed what I expected.
