</div>

code as follow:

const geometry = new THREE.CircleBufferGeometry(10, 64);  
geometry.vertices.shift();

but receive an error that geometry.vertices is undefined when running，so how can I fix it?

Hi!  
If you want points in formation of circle, then use this one-liner:  
`let pts = new THREE.Path().absarc(0, 0, 10, 0, Math.PI * 2).getPoints(64);`;  
Example: [https://jsfiddle.net/prisoner849/4z36cwgh/](https://jsfiddle.net/prisoner849/4z36cwgh/)

Since r125, all standard/primitive geometries are buffer geometries, so there is no `.vertices` property, as they store vertex data in `.attribute.position` buffer attribute.
