  `-------------------------------------`

  Getter Method

  Signature `GeometryList`

  Returns: |
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAM.SurfaceDriveGeometrySetList`

  New in version NX8.0.0.

  License requirements: None.

# Method Detail

## Commit

`SurfaceDriveGeometry.``Commit`

  Commits any edits that have been applied to the builder.

  Signature `Commit()`

  New in version NX8.5.0.

  License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

## CreateEmptyGeometrySet

`SurfaceDriveGeometry.``CreateEmptyGeometrySet`

  Create an empty geometry set

  Signature `CreateEmptyGeometrySet()`

  Returns: | the geometry set object
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAM.SurfaceDriveGeometrySet`

  New in version NX8.0.0.

  License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

## CreateGeometrySet

`SurfaceDriveGeometry.``CreateGeometrySet`

  Create a new geometry set

  Signature `CreateGeometrySet(surface)`

  Parameters: | surface (`NXOpen.NXObject`) – the surface
  Returns: | the geometry set object
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAM.SurfaceDriveGeometrySet`

  New in version NX8.0.0.

  License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

## StartNextRow

`SurfaceDriveGeometry.``StartNextRow`

  Select next row

  Signature `StartNextRow(surface)`

  Parameters: | surface (`NXOpen.NXObject`) – the surface
  Returns: | the new geometry set object
  Return type: | `NXOpen.CAM.SurfaceDriveGeometrySet`

  New in version NX8.0.0.

  License requirements: cam_base (“CAM BASE”)

## Validate

`SurfaceDriveGeometry.``Validate`

  Validate whether the inputs to the component are sufficient for commit to be called.

  If the component is not in a state to commit then an exception is thrown. For example, if the component requires you to set some property, this method will throw an exception if you haven’t set it. This method throws a not-yet-implemented NXException for some components.

  Signature `Validate()`

  Returns: | Was self validation successful
  Return type: | bool

  New in version NX3.0.1.
