	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Mesh is a type of [Resource] that contains vertex-array based geometry, divided in [i]surfaces[/i]. Each surface contains a completely separate array and a material used to draw it. Design wise, a mesh with multiple surfaces is preferred to a single surface, because objects created in 3D editing software commonly contain multiple materials.

		<method name="create_convex_shape" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Shape">
			</return>
			<description>
				Calculate a [ConvexPolygonShape] from the mesh.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="create_outline" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Mesh">
			</return>
			<argument index="0" name="margin" type="float">
			</argument>
			<description>
				Calculate an outline mesh at a defined offset (margin) from the original mesh. Note: Typically returns the vertices in reverse order (e.g. clockwise to anti-clockwise).

		<method name="create_trimesh_shape" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Shape">
			</return>
			<description>
				Calculate a [ConcavePolygonShape] from the mesh.

		</method>
		<method name="generate_triangle_mesh" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="TriangleMesh">
			</return>
			<description>
				Generate a [TriangleMesh] from the mesh.

		</method>
		<method name="get_faces" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="PoolVector3Array">
			</return>
			<description>
				Returns all the vertices that make up the faces of the mesh. Each three vertices represent one triangle.
