Remarks

A nodekit that is used for creating a shape (i.e. geometry). OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoShapeKit is derived from OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoSeparatorKit and OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoBaseKit, and thus inherits all the parts defined by these classes.

Furthermore, OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoShapeKit adds numerous parts that can be used to define a variety of shape objects, a localTransform part, and of course a shape part.

All of the property nodes requires to define any of the Open Inventor shapes are included as parts in this class. Not all of these parts (nodes) are needed for any one type of shape. For example, if you set the shape part to be an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSphere node, then it is not necessary to create a profileCoordinate3 part since it will be ignored in drawing the sphere. (And the unneeded parts will not be created, so there is no performance penalty for using this class of node.

This class contains two private parts. They are both OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSeparator nodes. One of them sits just below the nodekit itself, and serves to contain all properties within this nodekit from affecting nodes that come after this nodekit. The second separator sits above the shape part, and serves to cache the shape even when the transform , localTransform , or appearance parts are changing.

PARTS

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSeparator) shapeSeparator This is a private part. The parent node of the actual shape part. It is an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoSeparator and is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMaterialBinding) materialBinding An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMaterialBinding node that can be used to set the material binding for the shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNormalBinding) normalBinding An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNormalBinding node that can be used to set the normal binding for the shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTextureCoordinateBinding) textureCoordinateBinding An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTextureCoordinateBinding node that can be used to set the texture coordinate binding for the shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShapeHints) shapeHints An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShapeHints node that can be used to set the shape hints for the shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoCoordinate3) coordinate3 An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoCoordinate3 node that can be used to set the 3D coordinates for a vertex-based shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoCoordinate4) coordinate4 An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoCoordinate4 node that can be used to set the 4D coordinates for a NURBS shapes. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNormal) normal An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNormal node that can be used to set the normal vectors for a vertex-based shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTextureCoordinate2) textureCoordinate2 An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTextureCoordinate2 node that can be used to set the texture coordinates for a vertex-based shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTextureCoordinateFunction) textureCoordinateFunction An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTextureCoordinateFunction node that can be used to set the a procedural texture coordinates function for a vertex-based shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoProfileCoordinate2) profileCoordinate2 An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoProfileCoordinate2 node that can be used to set the 2D profile coordinates for a shape that uses them, (e.g., OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoText3). This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoProfileCoordinate3) profileCoordinate3 An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoProfileCoordinate3 node that can be used to set the 3D profile coordinates for a shape that uses them, (e.g., OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNurbsCurve). This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodekits.SoNodeKitListPart) profileList An SoProfileList node that can be used to set the profile curve for a shape that uses them, (e.g., OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNurbsCurve). This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTransform) localTransform An OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoTransform node that can be used to set a local transformation on the shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape) shape This is the part which specifies the actual shape node. This can be any node derived from OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape By default, an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoCube is created. It is important to set all of the appropriate parts within this nodekit to suit the type of OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape that is used. For example, if the shape part is set to an OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoFaceSet, then the coordinate3 shape and probably the normal shape would be set as well. See the reference page of the shape used for details on which other nodes are necessary.
