// Class Description:
//
// Class for performing double navigation in the detector geometry and
// on the target surface for error propagation. It overloads ComputeStep()
// and ComputeSafety() methods.
// History:
// - Created. P. Arce, September 2004

// G4ThreeVector GetLocalExitNormalAndCheck(const G4ThreeVector& point,
// G4bool* valid);
// Convention:
// The *local* normal is in the coordinate system of the *final* volume.
