Hi, I’m trying to create a buffer geometry from a Tetrahedron geometry and somehow it tells me bGeometry doesn have an `addAttribute` function… What am I doing here? I’m just passing position parameter because I only want to rotate this solid, nothing else.

```
var geometry = new THREE.TetrahedronGeometry(800, 2);
var bGeometry = new THREE.BufferGeometry().fromGeometry(geometry);
var positions = [];
geometry.faces.forEach( function ( face, index ) {
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.a].x );
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.a].y );
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.a].z );
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.b].x );
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.b].y );
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.b].z );
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.c].x );
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.c].y );
            positions.push( geometry.vertices[face.c].z );
        })
  console.log(bGeometry);
  bGeometry.addAtribute( 'position', new THREE.Float32BufferAttribute( positions, 3 ) );
  solid = new THREE.Mesh(bGeometry, material);
  solid.position.set(900, 200 , 0);

```

And on animation…

```
solid.rotation.x += 0.001;
solid.rotation.y += 0.001;
solid.rotation.z += 0.001;
```

I see a typo in your code: `bGeometry.addAtribute()`.

A `t` is missing. Is this maybe the problem?

@Mugen87 and @nvassalo,

The mis-spelled `bGeometry.addAtribute` is the problem, if there are any other problems, it has to do with deprecated code. And I don’t really see any, so fix that, and you should be good.

That was exactly it, of course…Thanks guys @Mugen87 @TheCodeCrafter

No problem 😉
