```csharp
Vertex = 1
```

### Remarks

DirectX 11 does not allow Vertex buffers to also be [GraphicsBuffer.Target.Structured](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/graphicsbuffer/target/structured.md). For compute shader mesh data access with DirectX 11 compatibility, it is best to use [GraphicsBuffer.Target.Raw](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/graphicsbuffer/target/raw.md).
