# VertexAttribute

> Possible attribute types that describe a vertex in a Mesh.

## Definition

* **Type:** Enum
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Rendering](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/rendering.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public enum VertexAttribute
```

## Remarks

[Mesh](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/mesh.md) vertex data comprised of different Vertex Attributes. For example, a vertex can include a Position, Normal, TexCoord0 and Color. Not all Meshes have all possible VertexAttributes. You can use this enum to query which VertexAttributes a Mesh uses.
