The SoShape type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AffectsState	Overrides default method on OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNode. (Overrides SoNodeAffectsState.)
	BeginShape(SoAction, SoShapeTriangleShapes)	Calls BeginShape(action, shapeType, (OIV.Inventor.Details.SoFaceDetail ^)nullptr).
	BeginShape(SoAction, SoShapeTriangleShapes, SoFaceDetail)	These methods can be used by subclasses to generate triangles more easily when those triangles are part of a larger structure, such as a triangle strip, triangle fan, or triangulated polygon, according to the TriangleShape enumerated type.
	Callback	Implements primitive generation for all shapes. (Overrides SoNodeCallback(SoCallbackAction).)
	ComputeBBox(SoAction, SbBox3f, SbVec3f)	Compute axis aligned bounding box (AABB) for subclass using information in the given action (which may not necessarily be an OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetBoundingBoxAction).
	ComputeBBox(SoAction, SbXfBox3d, SbVec3d)	Compute object oriented bounding box (OOB) for subclass using information in the given action (which may not necessarily be an OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetBoundingBoxAction).
	Copy	Calls Copy(false). (Inherited from SoNode.)
	Copy(Boolean)	Creates and returns an exact copy of the node. (Inherited from SoNode.)
	CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer)	Calls CopyFieldValues(fc, false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer, Boolean)	Copies the contents of fc's fields into this object's fields. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	Dispose	Releases all resources used by SoDisposable. (Inherited from SoDisposable.)
	Distribute	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	DoAction	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	EnableNotify	Notification at this Field Container is enabled (if flag == true) or disabled (if flag == false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	EndShape	end shape previously started with OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.BeginShape(OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoAction, OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.TriangleShapes, OIV.Inventor.Details.SoFaceDetail).
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	FieldsAreEqual	Returns true if this object's fields are exactly equal to fc's fields. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	Get	Returns the values of the fields of this object in the Open Inventor ASCII file format in the given string. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetAllFields	Returns a list of fields, including the eventIn's and eventOut's. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetAlternateRep	This method is called by actions to allow the node to provide an "alternate representation" when appropriate (typically depending on the action type). (Inherited from SoNode.)
	GetBoundingBox	Implements bounding box method using virtual OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.ComputeBBox(OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoAction, OIV.Inventor.SbBox3f@, OIV.Inventor.SbVec3f@) method. (Overrides SoNodeGetBoundingBox(SoGetBoundingBoxAction).)
	GetDecimatedComplexity	This can be used by dynamic shape subclasses that use the complexity element, to compute how the decimation element affects the complexity of the shape.
	GetEventIn	Returns a the eventIn with the given name. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetEventOut	Returns the eventOut with the given name. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetField	Returns a the field of this object whose name is fieldName. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetFieldName	Returns the name of the given field in the fieldName argument. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetFields	Appends references to all of this object's fields to resultList, and returns the number of fields appended. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetHashCode	Overrides GetHashCode(). (Inherited from SoNetBase.)
	GetMatrix	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	GetName	Returns the name of an instance. (Inherited from SoBase.)
	GetPrimitiveCount	Counts number of primitives produced by this shape. (Overrides SoNodeGetPrimitiveCount(SoGetPrimitiveCountAction).)
	GetRenderEngineMode	Returns the supported Render engine mode. (Inherited from SoNode.)
	GetRenderUnitID	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	GetScreenSize	This can be used by subclasses when the complexity type is SCREEN_SPACE to determine how many window pixels are covered by the shape.
	GetShapeType	Gets the current shape Full Scene Antialiasing type.
	GetStringName	(Inherited from SoBase.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GLRender	Implements rendering by rendering each primitive generated by subclass. (Overrides SoNodeGLRender(SoGLRenderAction).)
	GLRenderBelowPath	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	GLRenderInPath	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	GLRenderOffPath	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	GrabEventsCleanup	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	GrabEventsSetup	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	HandleEvent	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	HasDefaultValues	Returns true if all of the object's fields have their default values. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	IsBoundingBoxIgnoring	Used by BoundingBoxAction to know if bounding box computation should be ignored or not. (Overrides SoNodeIsBoundingBoxIgnoring.)
	IsNotifyEnabled	Notification is the process of telling interested objects that this object has changed. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	IsOverride	Returns the state of the override flag. (Inherited from SoNode.)
	IsPrimitiveRestartAvailable	Calls IsPrimitiveRestartAvailable((OIV.Inventor.Misc.SoState ^)nullptr).
	IsPrimitiveRestartAvailable(SoState)	Returns true if the primitive restart feature is available.
	IsSynchronizable	Gets the ScaleViz synchronizable state of this object. (Inherited from SoBase.)
	Pick	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	RayPick	Implements picking along a ray by intersecting the ray with each primitive generated by subclass. (Overrides SoNodeRayPick(SoRayPickAction).)
	Search	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	Set	Sets one or more fields in this object to the values specified in the given string, which should be a string in the Open Inventor file format. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	SetName	(Inherited from SoBase.)
	SetOverride	Turns the override flag on or off. (Inherited from SoNode.)
	SetShapeType	set the antialiasing type for this shape.
	SetSynchronizable	Sets this to be a ScaleViz synchronizable object. (Inherited from SoBase.)
	SetToDefaults	Sets all fields in this object to their default values. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	ShapeVertex	add a primitive vertex to the shape prevously started with OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.BeginShape(OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoAction, OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.TriangleShapes, OIV.Inventor.Details.SoFaceDetail).
	ToString	Converts this SoBase structure to a human readable string. (Inherited from SoBase.)

Remarks

This node is the abstract base class for all shape (geometry) nodes. All classes derived from OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape draw geometry during render traversal.
