<brief_description>
+ Helper tool to access and edit [Mesh] data.
</brief_description>
<description>
+ The MeshDataTool provides access to individual vertices in a [Mesh]. It allows users to read and edit vertex data of meshes. It also creates an array of faces and edges.
+ To use the MeshDataTool, load a mesh with [method create_from_surface]. When you are finished editing the data commit the data to a mesh with [method commit_to_surface].
+ Below is an example of how the MeshDataTool may be used.
+ [codeblock]
+ var mdt = MeshDataTool.new()
+ mdt.create_from_surface(mesh, 0)
+ for i in range(mdt.get_vertex_count()):
+ var vertex = mdt.get_vertex(i)
+ ...
+ mdt.set_vertex(i, vertex)
+ mesh.surface_remove(0)
+ mdt.commit_to_surface(mesh)
+ [/codeblock]
