SoAppearanceKit

SoAppearanceKit is a subclass of SoBaseKit, provided as part of the standard Inventor library. It is a collection of all property nodes that affect the appearance of a rendered shape. Eight parts are added as direct children of the node kit. A diagram of the catalog's structure is shown in Catalog Diagram for SoAppearanceKit .
