# Geometry

Geometries are vector type data products (points, lines, polygons, and surfaces). Many different geometry file formats are supported, such as: **OBJ**, **KMZ/KML**, **SHP**, **DXF**, and **LandXML**. Geometries can be imported using File->Open. 

Geometries can be created manually in SpatialExplorer using the [**Picks**](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/measurements-window.md) window. Some geometries, such as contours and meshes, can be created using the [**Create**](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/toolbars/analytics/create.md) tool.
