## Methods

### <a id="VM_Managed_PointBase_GetSchema"></a> GetSchema()

This method is reserved and should not be used. When implementing the IXmlSerializable interface, you should return nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) (Nothing in Visual Basic) from this method, and instead, if specifying a custom schema is required, apply the XmlSchemaProviderAttribute to the class.

```csharp
public abstract XmlSchema GetSchema()

```

#### Returns

XmlSchema

```csharp
public virtual bool HasReplaceableEntity(IObjectBase oldObject)

```csharp
public virtual bool IsParametric(Primitive.enRefType type)

```

#### Parameters

`type` [Primitive](VM.Managed.Primitive.md).[enRefType](VM.Managed.Primitive.enRefType.md)

Point picking type.

#### Returns

bool

If set to `true` is parametric; otherwise, `false` is none parametric.

### <a id="VM_Managed_PointBase_IsParametric_System_String_"></a> IsParametric(string)

Gets parametric.

```csharp
public static bool IsParametric(string strType)

```

#### Parameters

`strType` string

Point picking type.

#### Returns

bool

If set to `true` is parametric; otherwise, `false` is none parametric.

### <a id="VM_Managed_PointBase_ReadXml_System_Xml_XmlReader_"></a> ReadXml(XmlReader)

Generates an object from its XML representation.

```csharp
public abstract void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)

```

Converts an object into its XML representation.

```csharp
public abstract void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)

```

#### Parameters
