Sure, can you please be more specific on what the issue is? Do note that there is a detailed article on how to define Prisms in GDTF in the GDTF Help pages here.

No just needed to find my notes what was wrong.

I think we need to add the the help page how the translation of the prims are defined. That they are defined by the beam size.

The article lays it out pretty clearly, including examples:

...It is important to know what are the units used for the transformation. For the sake of simplicity, we can say here that the unit used in the matrix is "the radius of the unaltered beam". This sounds weird, so lets make an example...

I think that makes it more clear and easier to understand.

OK, thank you.
