Bottom of page 160, and top of 161 states:

Here are restrictions to be considered for the parallel geometry:
Detector Definition and Response
161
• Materials, production thresholds and EM field are used only from the mass geometry. Even if such physical
quantities are defined in a parallel world, they do not affect to the simulation.

I believe this contradicts what is demonstrated in example RE04, where the "mass world" contained just air, and overlapping materials from the parallel world were used for transport.

Fixed in new release of the documentation.
