I was wondering, this may be a silly question but why does the darkbasic plane have six vertices instead of four. Two in the bottom left, one on the top left, two on the top right and one on the bottom right. I would have thought four would be enough to manipulate the object.
Cheers Robin

how did you evaluate this?
did you export a plane out as a mesh?

DarkBasic outputs the data that you can alter from the VertexBuffer rather than the IndexBuffer.

You plane will have 4 Indicies, but 6 Vertices. As that's how the triangle strip outputs. The vertices from your models will always be output in multiples of 3.
