    public abstract class Geometry

extends NodeComponent

Geometry is an abstract class that specifies the geometry component information required by a Shape3D node. Geometry objects describe both the geometry and topology of the Shape3D nodes that reference them. Geometry objects consist of four generic geometric types:

- Compressed Geometry
- GeometryArray
- Raster
- Text3D

Each of these geometric types defines a visible object or set of objects. A Geometry object is used as a component object of a Shape3D leaf node.

Field Summary
`static int` `ALLOW_INTERSECT` Specifies that this Geometry allows intersect operation.

Constructor Summary
`Geometry()` Constructs a new Geometry object.
