ModelData:getTriangles
EditReturns the data for all triangles in the model. There are a few differences between this and the mesh-specific functions like ModelData:getMeshVertex and ModelData:getMeshIndex:
- Only vertex positions are returned, not other vertex attributes.
- Positions are relative to the origin of the whole model, instead of local to a node.
- If a mesh is attached to more than one node, its vertices will be in the table multiple times.
- Vertex indices will be relative to the whole triangle list instead of a mesh.

Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
| vertices | table | The triangle vertex positions, returned as a flat (non-nested) table of numbers. The position of each vertex is given as an x, y, and z coordinate. |
| indices | table | The vertex indices. Every 3 indices describes a triangle. |
Notes
After this function is called on a ModelData once, the result is cached.
