If the person used "geométrico" in PT, he is making this up anyway. You should use the same in English, IMO, and make just as much sense as he/she did in PT.
You could use symmetrical or something else, if you see further on in the text what the person meant. But if this is all you got, shoot it.

Thank you, Verginia!
agree Luís Labres : Pois é, eu tampouco sei o que o sujeito quis dizer com isso... E outra coisa: não seria geometrical?

Também pensei que pudesse ser, mas com "geometrical", o Google sugere "geometric"

agree Richard Purdom : yeah why not, could also be 'angular' or even 'square'

Or any other shape! It's just another example (among thousands) of people trying to sound nice with senseless terms. Thanx!
Something went wrong...
