			<description>
				Returns mesh arrays used to constitute surface of [Mesh]. The result can be passed to [method ArrayMesh.add_surface_from_arrays] to create a new surface. For example:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var c = CylinderMesh.new()
				var arr_mesh = ArrayMesh.new()
				arr_mesh.add_surface_from_arrays(Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES, c.get_mesh_arrays())
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var c = new CylinderMesh();
				var arrMesh = new ArrayMesh();
				arrMesh.AddSurfaceFromArrays(Mesh.PrimitiveType.Triangles, c.GetMeshArrays());
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]

		<member name="custom_aabb" type="AABB" setter="set_custom_aabb" getter="get_custom_aabb">
			Overrides the [AABB] with one defined by user for use with frustum culling. Especially useful to avoid unexpected culling when using a shader to offset vertices.
		</member>
		<member name="flip_faces" type="bool" setter="set_flip_faces" getter="get_flip_faces">
			If set, the order of the vertices in each triangle are reversed resulting in the backside of the mesh being drawn.
			This gives the same result as using [constant BaseMaterial3D.CULL_FRONT] in [member BaseMaterial3D.cull_mode].
		</member>
		<member name="material" type="Material" setter="set_material" getter="get_material">
			The current [Material] of the primitive mesh.
