   -  Modify your CmakeLists.txt
   -  Make and execute your new executable → a new .root file is created
+    - Use  cmake --build.  and ./"your executable here"

+==== Have a look at the geometry ====
+To check, weather your geometry is correct, have look at it. Open the root file and the TBrowser:
+<code>
+primasoft/geant4/geometry$ root -l targetChamber.root
+root [1] TBrowser b
+</code>
+Now open the folders until you can see the different Volume folders.\\
+With a right-click on for example Master Volume you can select Draw and a new window will be opened.
+Enter "ogl" as option and press "OK". Now your geometry is displayed by the GL viewer.
+== Scene interaction with GL viewer: ==
+  * Left mouse button: ROTATE (ORBIT) the scene by holding the mouse button and moving the mouse
+  * w: wireframe mode
+  * e: switch between dark/light color-set
+  * r: filled polygons mode
+  * t: outline mode
+More interaction modes are explained in the help menu.
