Geometric properties (positions, orientations and shapes) are generated in three-dimensional space for galaxies in a simulated distant supercluster filament on the basis of the galaxy orientations and filament inclinations described by MacGillivray et al. (1981) and MacGillivray and Dodd (1982) and the distributions for projected galaxy shapes and position angles examined. The results may be used as an aid in interpreting the observed geometrical properties for galaxies in real external superclusters. The shape of the model supercluster is simulated by means of an oblate or prolate spheroid, the north-pole direction being perpendicular to the major axis for the former case and parallel with the major axis for the latter.
