## X3DObject.AddGeometry

### Description

Creates and adds a new geometry as child of the X3DObject. For example, you can add a new NURBS cube to the scene by using 'ActiveSceneRoot.AddGeometry "Cube", "NurbsSurface"'.

### C# Syntax

    X3DObject X3DObject.AddGeometry( Object in_geomPreset, Object in_convPreset, String in_name );

### Scripting Syntax

    oReturn = X3DObject.AddGeometry( Preset, [Type], [Name] );

### Return Value

X3DObject

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
Preset | String | One of the presets for Geometry Primitives or Implicit Primitives (for example, "Sphere", "Torus", "Disc", etc.). Note: If you specify a geometry type in the Type argument, you can only use primitive presets that can support the specified geometry as listed below.
Type | String | Type of geometry. Default Value: Implicit object created
Possible Values: | Description:
| Implicit only, no geometry. Supports all Primitive Presets.
NurbsCurve | NURBS curve geometry. Supports only Circle, Spiral, Square, and Text primitives.
MeshSurface | Polygon mesh geometry. Supports only Cone, Cube, Cylinder, Disc, Grid, Sphere, Torus, Dodecahedron, Icosahedron, Octahedron, and Tetrahedron primitives.
NurbsSurface | NURBS surface mesh geometry. Supports only Cone, Cube, Cylinder, Disc, Grid, Sphere, and Torus primitives.
PointCloud | PointCloudGeometry. Supports only Cone, Cube, Cylinder, Disc, Grid, Sphere, and Torus primitives.
Name | String | Name of child

### Examples

#### 1. JScript Example

    oRoot = Application.ActiveSceneRoot;

    oMeshSphere = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Sphere", "MeshSurface" );

    oNurbsSphere = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Sphere", "NurbsSurface" );

    oNurbsArc = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Arc", "NurbsCurve" );

    // Create an implicit object, which is the same as calling AddPrimitive()

    oGrid = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Arc" );

#### 2. VBScript Example

    set oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root

    set oMeshSphere = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Sphere", "MeshSurface" )

    set oNurbsSphere = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Sphere", "NurbsSurface" )

    set oNurbsArc = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Arc", "NurbsCurve" )

    ' Create an implicit object, which is the same as calling AddPrimitive()

    set oGrid = oRoot.AddGeometry( "Arc" )
