Problem 1062

Summary:	GetSurfaceArea call to G4VCSGfaceted returns CubicVolume instead

Description Nathaniel 2009-05-08 16:11:49 CEST

Calling the GetSurfaceArea method on a G4Polyhedra solid returns the numerical value of the volume instead of surface area.  This method is inherited from G4VCSGfaceted; G4VCSGfaceted contains the line (number 538)
else   fSurfaceArea = EstimateCubicVolume(fStatistics,fAreaAccuracy);
