A base class (a class from which other class derive) can present so-called <I>virtual</I> methods. That means that these methods can be re-written in a daughter class definition: in C++ language, virtual methods can be overloaded. Virtual methods are the key of Geant4 framework modularity: a large amount of Geant4 classes can be personalized by the user. The latter just has to rewrite the virtual methods, making sure to keep their exact name because they might be called at other places of the framework. As an example, the method in charge of builing the geometry must be called <I>Construct()</I>, and the messengers' method in charge of modifying parameters must have the name <I>SetNewValue()</I>.
