# shape

The (simulation) shape of the collider.

## Declaration

```swift
var shape: ClothColliderShape { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The shape type cannot be changed after creation. Assigning a shape of a different type will be silently ignored. To use a different shape type, create a new component. The dynamic shape might differ from the static shape in the case of a mesh shape. One such scenario is when the mesh shape was created using a low-level mesh. In this scenario, the dynamic shape will try to match the low-level mesh. Moreover, if the entity has a ModelComponent with a visual mesh that was not created using a low-level mesh, then it too will try to match the low-level mesh. Another scenario is when the entity has a ModelComponent and the shape was not created using a low-level mesh. In this scenario, the dynamic shape will try to match the visual mesh in ModelComponent.
