**Inheritance:**
java.lang.Object, [com.aspose.threed.A3DObject](../../com.aspose.threed/a3dobject), [com.aspose.threed.SceneObject](../../com.aspose.threed/sceneobject), [com.aspose.threed.Entity](../../com.aspose.threed/entity)

public class Geometry extends Entity
```

The base class of all renderable geometric objects (like [Mesh](../../com.aspose.threed/mesh), [NurbsSurface](../../com.aspose.threed/nurbssurface), [Patch](../../com.aspose.threed/patch) and etc.).

The [Geometry](../../com.aspose.threed/geometry) base class supports:

 *  **Control point management**, control points defines the base 3D spatial structure of the geometry, different geometric types has different way to define concrete 3D models.
 *  **Vertex element definition**, vertex elements applies extra information like normals/uv coordinates/vertex colors to the geometry, see [VertexElement](../../com.aspose.threed/vertexelement) for more details.
 *  **Object deforming**, [Deformer](../../com.aspose.threed/deformer) can be bonded to animate geometry's shape.
