### *class* compolyx.VirtualGeometry(graph, obj, parent=None)

Represents a VirtualGeometry.

### Attributes

NameDescription[`VirtualGeometry.active`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.active.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.active)Active status of the object.[`VirtualGeometry.cad_geometry`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.cad_geometry.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.cad_geometry)Returns the linked CADGeometry.[`VirtualGeometry.cad_references`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.cad_references.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.cad_references)Dictionary of all CAD references.[`VirtualGeometry.dimension`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.dimension.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.dimension)Highest dimension of all CAD references.[`VirtualGeometry.enabled`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.enabled.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.enabled)Indicates whether the object is enabled.[`VirtualGeometry.id`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.id.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.id)ID of the object.[`VirtualGeometry.is_dict_item`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.is_dict_item.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.is_dict_item)Indicates whether the object is an item in a dictionary.[`VirtualGeometry.is_list_item`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.is_list_item.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.is_list_item)Indicates whether the object is an item of a list.[`VirtualGeometry.link_path`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.link_path.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.link_path)Root path of the current node in the tree for links to this object.[`VirtualGeometry.name`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.name.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.name)Name of the object.[`VirtualGeometry.parent`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.parent.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.parent)Parent object in the tree.[`VirtualGeometry.root_path`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.root_path.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.root_path)Root path of the current node in the tree.[`VirtualGeometry.status`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.status.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.status)Status of the object.[`VirtualGeometry.status_changed`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.status_changed.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.status_changed)Boolean flag which is set to true in C++ when up-to-date status of object changes.[`VirtualGeometry.sub_shapes`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.sub_shapes.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.sub_shapes)Sub components of the VirtualGeometry.[`VirtualGeometry.uid`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.uid.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.uid)UID of the object.[`VirtualGeometry.vertex`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.vertex.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.vertex)Raises an error if the object has been removed from the graph.### Methods

NameDescription[`VirtualGeometry.add`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.add.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.add)(shape)Creates a new CADReference object for the given shape.[`VirtualGeometry.clear_cad_references`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.clear_cad_references.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.clear_cad_references)()Clear all linked references (VirtualGeometry becomes empty).[`VirtualGeometry.create_cad_reference`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.create_cad_reference.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.create_cad_reference)(\[name, ...\])Creates a new CAD reference and links it with the virtual geometry.[`VirtualGeometry.find_parent`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.find_parent.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.find_parent)(type)Steps up the tree and returns the first parent with given type.[`VirtualGeometry.get_short_description`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.get_short_description.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.get_short_description)()[`VirtualGeometry.obj_exists`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.obj_exists.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.obj_exists)()Checks if \_\_obj still references the c++ object (has not been reset to None by self.\_delete) and exists in the graph.[`VirtualGeometry.remove`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.remove.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.remove)(shape)Removes the CADReference object for the given shape.[`VirtualGeometry.serialize`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.serialize.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.serialize)()Serialize to Python string.[`VirtualGeometry.serialize_name_and_id`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.serialize_name_and_id.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.serialize_name_and_id)()Serializes the name and ID.[`VirtualGeometry.set`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.set.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.set)(shapes)Clears the existing CAD references and creates a new one for each given shape.[`VirtualGeometry.update`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.update.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.update)()[`VirtualGeometry.visit`](compolyx.VirtualGeometry.visit.md#compolyx.VirtualGeometry.visit)(visitor)Walk through the tree and let the visitor perform action on every descendant node.
