Remarks

An attribute table is created by calling Mesh.Optimize and passing OptimizeAttrSort for the param_MeshFlags_flags parameter.

An attribute table is used to identify areas of the mesh that need to be drawn with different textures, render states and materials. The application can use the attribute table to hide portions of a mesh by leaving out a given attribute identifier (attributeID) when drawing the frame. Attribute tables can also be used for application defined purposes.
