<brief_description>
Helper tool to create geometry.
</brief_description>
<description>
The [SurfaceTool] is used to construct a [Mesh] by specifying vertex attributes individually. It can be used to construct a [Mesh] from a script. All properties except indices need to be added before calling [method add_vertex]. For example, to add vertex colors and UVs:
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
var st = SurfaceTool.new()
st.begin(Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES)
st.set_color(Color(1, 0, 0))
st.set_uv(Vector2(0, 0))
st.add_vertex(Vector3(0, 0, 0))
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
var st = new SurfaceTool();
st.Begin(Mesh.PrimitiveType.Triangles);
st.SetColor(new Color(1, 0, 0));
st.SetUV(new Vector2(0, 0));
st.AddVertex(new Vector3(0, 0, 0));
[/csharp]
[/codeblocks]
The above [SurfaceTool] now contains one vertex of a triangle which has a UV coordinate and a specified [Color]. If another vertex were added without calling [method set_uv] or [method set_color], then the last values would be used.
Vertex attributes must be passed [b]before[/b] calling [method add_vertex]. Failure to do so will result in an error when committing the vertex information to a mesh.
Additionally, the attributes used before the first vertex is added determine the format of the mesh. For example, if you only add UVs to the first vertex, you cannot add color to any of the subsequent vertices.
See also [ArrayMesh], [ImmediateMesh] and [MeshDataTool] for procedural geometry generation.
[b]Note:[/b] Godot uses clockwise [url=https://learnopengl.com/Advanced-OpenGL/Face-culling]winding order[/url] for front faces of triangle primitive modes.

</method>
<method name="generate_normals">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="flip" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Generates normals from vertices so you do not have to do it manually. If [param flip] is [code]true[/code], the resulting normals will be inverted. [method generate_normals] should be called [i]after[/i] generating geometry and [i]before[/i] committing the mesh using [method commit] or [method commit_to_arrays]. For correct display of normal-mapped surfaces, you will also have to generate tangents using [method generate_tangents].
[b]Note:[/b] [method generate_normals] only works if the primitive type to be set to [constant Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES].
[b]Note:[/b] [method generate_normals] takes smooth groups into account. To generate smooth normals, set the smooth group to a value greater than or equal to [code]0[/code] using [method set_smooth_group] or leave the smooth group at the default of [code]0[/code]. To generate flat normals, set the smooth group to [code]-1[/code] using [method set_smooth_group] prior to adding vertices.

<param index="0" name="count" type="int" enum="SurfaceTool.SkinWeightCount" />
<description>
