    Currently using the latest stable release of Unity (2019.1.5f1) and related packages on MacOS. This issue applies to both the editor and MacOS builds. I have not had the chance to test this issue on Windows but it is likely cross-platform. This bug resulted in most of my day of productivity lost, so this thread is more a forewarning to others.

    The following code results in a hidden mesh and does not produce any errors or warnings.
    Code (CSharp):
    1. mesh.indexFormat = IndexFormat.UInt32;
    Mesh.indexFormat / IndexFormat.UInt32

    Does anyone have a workaround for this? Currently I'm unable to create a complex mesh with more than 65535 vertices as it doesn't appear to be automatically upgrading from the 16-bit index buffer either.

    Given that an entity can not have more than one RenderMesh component, I don't have a method of avoiding this.

    @Yavvn make sure to set the index format before you set triangles.
