# bufferIndex

The index of the buffer to use for this layout.

```
var bufferIndex: Int { get set }
```

## Discussion

Most usage scenarios use only one buffer. Use an index less than
[`maxVertexBufferCount`](/documentation/RealityKit/LowLevelMeshResource/Descriptor-swift.struct/maxVertexBufferCount).
