 Advanced users remain free to implement their own simulation objects in C++ code, and add them to TOPAS via an :ref:`extension mechanism <extensions>`. While user-written objects benefit from underlying functionality of TOPAS base classes and the TOPAS parameter system, they can exploit the full flexibility of Geant4.
