### Remarks

Used by [XRMeshSubsystem.GenerateMeshAsync](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/xr/xrmeshsubsystem/generatemeshasync.md) to request tangents be generated, or by [MeshGenerationResult](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/xr/meshgenerationresult.md) to indicate tangents were written to the [Mesh](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/mesh.md).
