# SoNodeKit(3iv)

initializes nodekit classes

## NAME

SoNodeKit — initializes nodekit classes

## INHERITS FROM

SoNodeKit

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<Inventor/nodekits/SoNodeKit.h\>**

Methods from class SoNodeKit:

**static void**	**init()**

## DESCRIPTION

**This class is used to initialize all nodekit classes.**

## METHODS

**static void**	**init()**\
 Initialize all nodekit classes by registering them with the database. This function needs to be called before *any* other nodekit class may be constructed or accessed. Note that this is called automatically by **SoInteraction::init()** and **SoXt::init()**, so if you have made either of these calls, there is no need to call **SoNodeKit::init()** directly.
