Abstract: The problem of absorbing CAD system defined objects into detector simulation programs like GEANT is a well known unsolved problem in HEP computing. The nature of the problem and potential approaches to a solution are discussed. A solution to one aspect of CAD to GEANT translation is presented where CAD defined objects are represented as a tree of boxes which is then absorbed into GEANT geometries. Space and time benchmarks are discussed.
