0003 # Geometry module
0004
0005 The ACTS geometry model is strongly based on the ATLAS Tracking geometry. Its
0006 core is built on a surface-based description that make up all geometry objects
0007 of higher complexity. This design has been chosen as the surface objects can be
0008 used together with the track propagation module and thus all geometry objects
0009 become natively integrated into the tracking software.

0011 ```{note}
0012 There is an ongoing rewrite of the geometry and navigation modules where
0013 logical layers will be modelled as volumes, see [](layerless_geometry).
