\b Geometry module of SALOME is destined for:
- \subpage import_export_geom_obj_page "import and export of geometrical models"
  in IGES, BREP, STEP, ACIS and STL formats;
- \subpage create_geom_obj_page "construction of geometrical objects"
  using a wide range of functions;
- \subpage view_geom_obj_page "viewing geometrical objects" in the OCC
  viewer;
- \subpage transform_geom_obj_page "transformation of geometrical objects"
  using various algorithms;
- \subpage repairing_operations_page "optimization of geometrical objects";
- viewing \subpage geometrical_obj_prop_page "geometrical object properties"
  and other information about geometrical objects using
  \subpage using_measurement_tools_page "measurement tools";
- \subpage pictures_page "designing shapes from pictures";
- easily setting parameters via the variables predefined in
  \subpage using_notebook_geom_page "SALOME notebook".

The possibility to classify the created geometrical objects by moving it into early created container (folder) is detailed on
\subpage arranging_study_objects_page section.

XAO format describing a shape with its topology, groups and fields is detailed on \subpage xao_format_page section.

Geometry module preferences are described in the
\subpage geometry_preferences_page section of SALOME Geometry Help.

Almost all geometry module functionalities are accessible via
\subpage geompy_page "Geometry module Python Interface"

Other functions are available in <a class="el" target="_new" href="../../tui/GEOM/docutils/index.html">salome.geom python package</a>.
