0008
0009 o Configuration:
0010 -------------
0011 + CMake:
0012 o Enhanced advanced option for use of external USolids/VecGeom library;
0013 it is now possible to select individual shapes for partial use of the
0014 set of primitives provided by the library, by specifying through the
0015 GEANT4_USE_USOLIDS the list of primitives to consider, i.e. using:
0016 -DGEANT4_USE_USOLIDS="box;tubs" will replace box and tubs shapes with
0017 USolids/VecGeom ones; -DGEANT4_USE_USOLIDS="all" or -DGEANT4_USE_USOLIDS
0018 will replace with all shapes enabled in the library.
