ICimEntity::Geometry

This property returns a pointer to the IGeometry3D interface through which you can get to the geometrical information of an entity like interfaces IGeom3DCurve and IGeom3DSurface . Also using this property you can get to other more specific geometry properties of an entity through interfaces like IGeom3DPoint, IGeom3DStraight, IGeom3DIntCurve, IGeom3DEllipse, IGeom3DCone, IGeom3DMesh, IGeom3DPlan, IGeom3DSphere, IGeom3DSpline, IGeom3DTorus .

//Example 1
// PREREQUISITES
// 1. Open a Cimatron File

// Define an AppAccess object to get the running active application
interop.CimAppAccess.AppAccess AppAcc = new interop.CimAppAccess.AppAccess();
// Define an Application object and getting running active application
interop.CimatronE.IApplication CimApp =(interop.CimatronE.IApplication)AppAcc.GetApplication();
//Get Active Cimatron Document
interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimDocument aDOC = (interop.CimBaseAPI.ICimDocument)CimApp.GetActiveDoc();
//Get Model Container
