Dear John, By looking into the solid definition I found that given point is really Inside. Values of DistanceToOut(p)=15.48 and DistanceToOut(p,v)=32.44 confirm this. For the point, situated Inside, it is normal, that DistanceToIn replay 0. This problem seems to be more navigation problem, that solid problem. Best Regards, Tatiana.
Dear John, The given point is really Inside of G4Trap, in this case DistanceToIn returns 0. This problem seems to be a problem of G4Naviagator. May be tested geometry has overlaps? Best Regards, Tatiana.
Since it appears the problem is not in G4Trap I am closing it.
