2017-07-06 Markus Frank (PR#201) ## DDCore: Changes to the VolumeManager interface

Recent descrepancies showed that the call to lookup a placement from the volume manager may have an ambiguous meaning: It may (as used until now) be the placement of thge closest detector element - a functionality used by various tests or be the placement of the sensitive volume itself. So far, since each sensitive volume in the DD4hep tests is represented by a DetElement structure, both approaches returned the same placed volume.

Since there is the possibility to have sensitive volumes, which are not directly connected to a single DetElement structure, this call was split to resolve this ambiguity:

/// Lookup a physical (placed) volume identified by its 64 bit hit ID PlacedVolume lookupVolumePlacement(VolumeID volume_id) const; /// Lookup a physical (placed) volume of the detector element /// containing a volume identified by its 64 bit hit ID PlacedVolume lookupDetElementPlacement(VolumeID volume_id) const;
