	<brief_description>
		Helper tool to access and edit [Mesh] data.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		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 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 MeshDataTool may be used.
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		var mesh = ArrayMesh.new()
		mesh.add_surface_from_arrays(Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES, BoxMesh.new().get_mesh_arrays())
		var mdt = MeshDataTool.new()
		mdt.create_from_surface(mesh, 0)
		for i in range(mdt.get_vertex_count()):
		    var vertex = mdt.get_vertex(i)
		    # In this example we extend the mesh by one unit, which results in separated faces as it is flat shaded.
		    vertex += mdt.get_vertex_normal(i)
		    # Save your change.
		    mdt.set_vertex(i, vertex)
		mesh.clear_surfaces()
		mdt.commit_to_surface(mesh)
		var mi = MeshInstance.new()
		mi.mesh = mesh
		add_child(mi)
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		var mesh = new ArrayMesh();
		mesh.AddSurfaceFromArrays(Mesh.PrimitiveType.Triangles, new BoxMesh().GetMeshArrays());
		var mdt = new MeshDataTool();
		mdt.CreateFromSurface(mesh, 0);
		for (var i = 0; i &lt; mdt.GetVertexCount(); i++)
		{
		    Vector3 vertex = mdt.GetVertex(i);
		    // In this example we extend the mesh by one unit, which results in separated faces as it is flat shaded.
		    vertex += mdt.GetVertexNormal(i);
		    // Save your change.
		    mdt.SetVertex(i, vertex);
		}
		mesh.ClearSurfaces();
		mdt.CommitToSurface(mesh);
		var mi = new MeshInstance();
		mi.Mesh = mesh;
		AddChild(mi);
		[/csharp]
		[/codeblocks]
		See also [ArrayMesh], [ImmediateMesh] and [SurfaceTool] for procedural geometry generation.
		[b]Note:[/b] Godot uses clockwise [url=https://learnopengl.com/Advanced-OpenGL/Face-culling]winding order[/url] for front faces of triangle primitive modes.
