This repo contains a simple Python configuration of CMSSW for creating a big XML file of the CMS detector geometry that you can use for SketchUpCMS.

export SCRAM_ARCH=slc6_amd64_gcc530
cmsrel CMSSW_9_0_0_pre5
cd CMSSW_9_0_0_pre5/src
cmsenv

git cms-init
git cms-merge-topic -u SketchUpCMS:fix_chimney_hole_9_0_X

You can read about the disccussion of this patch:

• cms-sw/cmssw#835
• cms-sw/cmssw#836
• cms-sw/cmssw#857

The patch hasn't been merged to CMSSW. But this is necesary for SketchUp.

scram b -j 9

git clone [email protected]:SketchUpCMS/ddtoddl_cfg.git

cmsRun ddtoddl_cfg/run_OutputDDToDDL_cfg.py

By default, it uses the geometry config file Configuration.Geometry.GeometryExtended2017_cff and create the big XML file GeometryExtended2017.xml.

The file GeometryExtended2017.xml can be used as an input to SketchUpCMS.

You can specify the geometry config and the output XML filename as arguments to cmsRun. For example

cmsRun ddtoddl_cfg/run_OutputDDToDDL_cfg.py geometryConfig=Configuration.Geometry.GeometryExtended2023D11_cff outFilename=GeometryExtended2023D11.xml

will use one of the Phase 2 upgrade geometry config Configuration.Geometry.GeometryExtended2023D11_cff and create a big XML file with the filename GeometryExtended2023D11.xml.
