Geometry
Overview
Geometry is a class in Aspose.3D FOSS for Python.
Inherits from: Entity.
Geometry class methods let developers create vertex elements, UV mappings, and manage deformers for mesh data.
This class declares 14 methods for Geometry objects in Python programs.
Available methods include: __init__, add_element, create_element, create_element_uv, find_property, get_bounding_box, get_deformers, get_element, get_entity_renderer_key, get_property, get_vertex_element_of_uv, remove_property, and 1 additional methods.
All public members are accessible to any Python application after installing the Aspose.3D FOSS for Python package.
Properties: cast_shadows, control_points, deformers, excluded, name, parent_node, and 6 more.

Methods
| Signature | Description |
|---|---|
__init__(name: str) | Calls init(name) on this Geometry instance. |
get_deformers(deformer_type: type) → List['Deformer'] | Gets all deformers of the specified type, or all deformers if no type is specified. |
create_element(element_type: 'VertexElementType', mapping_mode: 'MappingMode', reference_mode: 'ReferenceMode') → 'VertexElement' | Creates a VertexElement of the given type, mapping and reference modes |
create_element_uv(uv_mapping: 'TextureMapping', mapping_mode: 'MappingMode', reference_mode: 'ReferenceMode') → 'VertexElementUV' | Creates a UV VertexElement for the specified texture mapping and modes |
add_element(element: 'VertexElement') | Adds the supplied VertexElement to the geometry’s element collection |
get_element(element_type: 'VertexElementType') | Returns the first VertexElement matching the specified element type |
get_vertex_element_of_uv(texture_mapping: 'TextureMapping') → Optional['VertexElementUV'] | Returns the UV VertexElement for the given texture mapping, or None |
remove_property(property) | Deletes a property either by object reference or by its name |
remove_property(property_name: str) | Calls remove_property(property_name) on this Geometry instance. |
get_property(property: str) | Calls get_property(property) on this Geometry instance. |
set_property(property: str, value) | Sets the property value. |
find_property(property: str) | Searches for a property by name and returns it if found |
get_bounding_box() | Returns the bounding box. |
get_entity_renderer_key() | Not implemented in the FOSS edition — throws at runtime. Returns the entity renderer key. |
