Hi Mohammad

Looks like now it does not load the geometry files when i say

FairDetector* Dirc = new FairDircDet("DIRC", kFALSE);
Dirc->SetGeometryFileName("dircdet.geo");
run->AddModule(Dirc);

Root does not give me any errors but it also does not build the geometry

[INFO ] Media file used : /Users/raghav/fairroot/example/geometry/media_test.geo
[INFO ] User path for detector geometry : /Users/raghav/fairroot/example/geometry/cave.geo
[INFO ] User path for detector geometry : /Users/raghav/fairroot/example/geometry/pipe.geo
[INFO ] User path for detector geometry : /Users/raghav/fairroot/example/geometry/dpm.geo
loading detectors
[INFO ] User path for detector geometry : /Users/raghav/fairroot/example/geometry/dircdet.geo

It found all the necessary files but it only build vacuum from all the lot, which is evident when i look at this.

Info in <TGeoManager::Voxelize>: Voxelizing...
Info in <TGeoManager::CloseGeometry>: Building cache...
Info in <TGeoManager::CloseGeometry>: 1 nodes/ 1 volume UID's in FAIR geometry


I did find a workaround for this by saying

FairDetector* Dirc = new FairRutherford("DIRC", kFALSE);
Dirc->SetGeometryFileName("rutherford.geo");
run->AddModule(Dirc);

but i changed the rutherford.geo to look like dircdet.geo, and then it build rutherford like dircdet. This would be fine if i only had only detector but i have lots of them and i am really at a loss as to where the error is, because i compared FairRutherford classes with FairDircDet classes and cannot find a difference between.

I am having the same problem with the passive components as well. It only build magnet (but it sees all the rest) and i can only build pipe, if i define target (which was defined in the rutherford experiment) like the pipe. (just like i did for dircdet)

Many many thanks for your help.
Raghav
