You probably use a newer release which does not include `THREE.Geometry` in the core anymore. Read the following topic for more information: [THREE.Geometry will be removed from core with r125](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/three-geometry-will-be-removed-from-core-with-r125/22401)

Use the approach mentioned: in [How to smooth an OBJ with threejs? - #12 by Laubeee](https://discourse.threejs.org/t/how-to-smooth-an-obj-with-threejs/3950/12)
