# Shape

The "Shape" object is part of the "Section" object, and creating its shape is similar to creating a "Surface" object. It is made up of at least three points, defined in sequence, and is used to define the overall “Shape” object. You can include multiple "Shape" objects within a single "Section" object.

**Example Syntax:**

```
...
<O T="Shape">
...
...
</O>
```

**Example:**

```xml
<O N="ShapeObject1" T="Project" Category="3D Geometric Objects" TransAlignRule="Right">
