Remarks

Shape property returns a reference to either the actual shape of the feature or the overriden shape of the representation depending on whether a shape override exists for the representation.

Use Shape property to create shape override which gets stored into the Override field. UpdateFeature and IFeature::Store methods must be called after the shape is altered to persist the changes.

If IRepresentationClass::RequireShapeOverride returns False then altering the shape of the feature representation will directly alter the feature's shape.

Note: It is necessary to set IRepresentationClass::RequireShapeOverride property to True, if you wish to store the shape overrides into Override field rather than altering the actual feature's shape.
