Import

from weSkel.src.core.node.abstract.geometry_shape.lib import GeometryShape

In Maya or in a Python script run by Maya / initialized mayapy, with weSkel available. Importing om is only required when using OpenMaya types in your own code.

Inheritance and scope

Item	Value
Class	GeometryShape
Module	weSkel.src.core.node.abstract.geometry_shape.lib
Direct parent	DAGNode
Represented direct descendants	ControlPoint
Own members	0 Python properties + 32 spec properties; 0 methods defined or overridden here.

Parent members remain available. Each section includes collapsible tables grouped by parent class, with links to the full contracts. Private methods and standard Python mechanisms are outside this inventory.

Constructor

Signature : GeometryShape(node) → GeometryShape or an already registered compatible subclass.

Parameter	Accepted types	Default
node	str, om.MObject, om.MObjectHandle, om.MFnDependencyNode, om.MDagPath, om.MFnDagNode	Required

Wraps an existing node or stages a wrapper if the name is unresolved; creates no node. For another wrapper, pass other.mobject. The shared registry preserves identity and may return the existing concrete wrapper. Incompatible input can raise TypeError, and identity conflicts RuntimeError.

This base has an abstract NODE_TYPE. Descendant type recognition depends on concrete classes already imported. Import and use Mesh, Curve or Surface as appropriate; the bottom example shows base access after importing the concrete wrapper. Do not call .create() to instantiate the abstract type.

Properties

Python properties defined on this class. om means maya.api.OpenMaya. Spec-generated properties are detailed in the following section.

No additional Python properties: this class adds the spec properties below and inherits its parent properties.

Spec properties

Python and Maya names are reproduced exactly. Declared kind, Python return and declared default are different facts. A spec default is not necessarily the live node value, nor a value automatically written at creation.

The returns below describe this class descriptors; live observations use a network, container, transform, mesh or skinCluster as appropriate. Some plugs depend on the concrete type. A subclass may override a member and its write capabilities. Proxy names identify current results: do not import their private classes.

Form	Usage
_ValuePlugProxy	.value reads the value; .plug gives a Plug, .mplug an MPlug.
IndexedPathProxy	Indexed access object. Resolution has limitations at this checkpoint: member cards provide verified alternatives using node.plugs[...].
Flags / writing	stored, input, output, connectable describe the replay contract. They do not guarantee a native plug is editable in its current state.

For writes where failure must be checked, use the Plug explicitly and verify live state: some descriptor setters can stage a value without propagating a Maya write error.

Methods

No new public methods on this class. Use inherited methods below; an abstract base does not provide a new creatable Maya type.

Methods inherited from DAGNode5

Method	Returns	Description
create	None	Creates a missing DAG node with its optional staged parent.
delete	None	Uses DGNode deletion.
snapshot	DAGSnapshot	Extends the DG dictionary with parent (partial path) and parent_long_name (full path), using schema_version="dag-1.0".
finalize	None	Stores the dictionary and delegates replay to DGNode.finalize().
set_parent	None	Reparents the live node.

Methods inherited from DGNode3

Method	Returns	Description
snapshot_svd	SVDSnapshot	Captures Source / Value / Destinations for the requested list.
svd	SVDView	Returns a read-only live view of source, value and destinations; it is not a frozen capture.
clear_attr_cache	None	Clears this instance attribute cache; does not delete nodes or clear the global wrapper registry.

Methods inherited from Node2

Method	Returns	Description
has_fn(fn_type)	bool	Test compatibility with a Maya function set.
clear_node_registry()	None	Detach registered wrappers and clear their shared registry.

Class attributes

Attribute	Type	Value / role
NODE_TYPE	str | None	"geometryShape"
SPEC_LAYERS	list[SpecLayer]	Parent layers + get_geometry_shape_specs_all

Attributes defined or overridden here. NODE_REGISTRY is inherited from Node. COMPATIBLE_MAYA_FN_TYPES is inherited; for a class with explicit NODE_TYPE, its use also depends on the compatibility policy described under Constructor.

The GeometryShapeSnapshot types exported by these modules are TypedDict descriptions, not classes to instantiate for capture. Use node.snapshot().

Behavior at a glance

Point	Behavior
primary_visiblity	Current public spelling to preserve in scripts.
Identity	The wrapper follows the Maya object; a replacement with the same name is not the same node.
Reading	Live reads take priority; check exists before native operations.
Specs	Describe existing plugs; do not automatically add Maya attributes.
Examples	The demonstration creates and deletes only its own nodes with a random name suffix.

Usage examples

Self-contained example for the Maya Python Script Editor. To run it in mayapy, initialize maya.standalone before this block and shut it down afterwards, as shown in the Node.

The demonstration shape is an empty mesh: this tests the inherited property, not topology creation.

from uuid import uuid4
from weSkel.src.core.node.abstract.geometry_shape.lib import GeometryShape
from weSkel.src.core.node.dag.mesh.lib import Mesh
from weSkel.src.core.node.dag.transform.lib import Transform

prefix = "api_shape_" + uuid4().hex[:8]
parent = Transform(prefix + "_parent")
node = Mesh(prefix + "Shape")
try:
    parent.create()
    node.parent = parent
    node.create()
    assert GeometryShape(node.mobject) is node
    node.casts_shadows = False
    assert node.casts_shadows.value is False
    print("GeometryShape: inherited shape property OK")
finally:
    node.delete(snapshot=False)
    parent.delete(snapshot=False)

Expected result : GeometryShape: inherited shape property OK. Demonstration nodes are removed in finally.

SDK checkpoint 87c3486 reference. Inventory and examples checked against source under Maya 2025.3 and 2026.3; this does not validate the compiled package.
