Why can't I access fillGeometry property on VectorNode in Figma plugin?

I’m working on a Figma plugin and running into a weird issue. According to the official docs, VectorNode should have a fillGeometry property that I can use. But when I try to access it in my TypeScript code, the compiler throws an error saying the property doesn’t exist.

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

const myVector = figma.createVector();
// This line causes TypeScript error
myVector.fillGeometry = someGeometryData;

The error message is: “Property ‘fillGeometry’ does not exist on type ‘VectorNode’”

I’ve double checked the documentation and it clearly shows fillGeometry as an available property. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone successfully used fillGeometry on a VectorNode? I really need to set custom geometry data on my vector shapes.

Any help would be appreciated!

fillGeometry is read-only - u can’t set it directly. It gets calculated from vector paths auto. For custom geometry, try using strokeGeometry or just change vectorPaths instead.
