➨ Fields

The Shape node has two fields, appearance and geometry, that are used to create rendered objects in the world. The appearance field contains an Appearance node that specifies the visual attributes (e.g., material and texture) to be applied to the geometry. The geometry field contains a geometry node. The specified geometry node is rendered with the specified appearance nodes applied.

Inheritance⤴


Fields⤴

These are the X3D / X3DOM fields of this node. Values should usually be received / set as strings via DOM functions (i.e., using setAttribute("myFieldName", "myFieldValue") and getAttribute("myFieldName")).
Name Type Default Value Range Inheritance Standard Description
appearance SFNode X3DAppearanceNode X3DShapeNode Holds the appearance node.
bboxCenter SFVec3f 0,0,0 [-inf, inf] Grouping/X3DBoundedObject Center of the bounding box
bboxSize SFVec3f -1,-1,-1 [0, inf] or -1 Grouping/X3DBoundedObject Size of the bounding box
geometry SFNode Rendering/X3DGeometryNode X3DShapeNode Holds the geometry node.
isPickable SFBool true X3DShapeNode Defines whether the shape is pickable.
metadata SFNode X3DMetadataObject Core/X3DNode Field to add metadata information
render SFBool true Grouping/X3DBoundedObject Flag to enable/disable rendering
