Hi Brett,

The updated version (2.08.02) is now available at The VGM web page; the ignoring of not supported solids is not automatic, but you have to set this option to your factory for import:

  Geant4GM::Factory g4Factory;
  g4Factory.SetIgnore(true);
  g4Factory.Import(physiWorld);

Let me know if you encounter any other problems.

Best regards,

Ivana
