I'm not sure what you mean.  The (geometry ...) command creates a
geom object which is listed in the geomview object-browser, and appears
on the display, i.e. you don't need to do anything more to make it visible.

Note that the (geometry ...) command can take either a reference to a file
or a literal piece of geometric data, as in

   (geometry  block  < square.quad)
or
   (geometry  block  { QUAD 1 0 0  1 1 0  0 1 0  0 0 0 })


Is that what you meant?
