    You gave us an operator so we can see the vertex count, and another one that allows us to sample a mesh.
    Thank you.

    NOW, please expose the REST of the major elements inside a Mesh:

    - normals
    - tangents
    - triangles
    - colors
    - uv(x)

    Seems silly that these fields are not already exposed. After all, if you make an operator with the ability to return "vertex count", then you're already 95% of the way there for these other values. Yes, they're arrays... ...so deal with it.

    Hello,
    The sample mesh operator already provides a way to access normals/tangent/..., this settings is available in inspector:

    OHHH!! Nice!!! Yes, I was looking for an inline operator, but this is actually what I needed.

    Note to Self: Look in the Inspector!
