What was the issue?

Hello,

I am trying to add DoseScorer to my code, but I encountered the following message:

G4WT2 > This hit's energy deposit would have been: 8.22e-06 MeV
G4WT2 >
Topas experienced an error in scoring.
G4WT2 > A scorer in the Component: "Nucleus"
G4WT2 > has been called for a hit in the non-parameterized volume named: "Nucleus/FiberCylinder2727"
G4WT2 > But this deos not make sense, as this scorer should only get called for hits
G4WT2 > in a parameterized volume (volume name would include the string "_Division").
G4WT2 > We think this may sometimes happen because Geant4 navigation gets into a corrupted state.
G4WT2 > This hit will be omitted from scoring.
G4WT2 > A note at end of session will show total number of unscored steps and the total unscored energy.
G4WT2 > In some cases the unscored energy is small enough that you can ignore this issue.

I would like to know if this error is normal and, if not, what settings or configurations I should adjust to resolve this issue.

Thank you for your assistance!
