 # Class DirectionOnGeometryBase

 Last update: 16.07.2025 

Namespace: [VM.Managed](VM.Managed.md)  
Assembly: VMAppCore.dll

This class is to represent the information of direction through data of geometry. bug ; When develop stand alone, After defining inherited classes from LinkContainer must parameterize to geometry data.

```csharp
public abstract class DirectionOnGeometryBase : DirectionBase, IObservableObject, IDisposableObject, ILinkable, IObject, ILinkContainer, IOwned, IHasID, IEventProvider, ILinkContainerEvent, IVerifiable

```

#### Inheritance
