1. Download an existing compact description. See Full Detector Simulation using SLIC for instructions. Alternately, you can start a new compact description from scratch.
2. Change the name field to a unique identifier for your detector.

   No Format
   <info name="YOURDETECTOR_NAME_HERETAG"/>

   It is very important to change this tag. Otherwise, the detector conditions system will not recognize your new detector model.
3. Copy the new compact description into a new directory.
4. Create a new file detector.properties with the following line.

   No Format
   DETECTOR_TAG: file:///path/to/DETECTOR_TAG

5. Make all the changes required to this compact description.
6. Regenerate the LCDD file for your detector. See Converting to LCDD or HepRep using GeomConverter for instructions.
7. Generate LCIO events with this LCDD file using slic.
8. Setup an alias to the new detector so JAS/lcsim can find it. (see above)
