i am using poly with vert alpha, but the command give me false, so, i mean ¿it suppose to give me true if have vertex alpha and false if not?

There’s 2 different alpha channels for verts:
VData with index 3 and VP(viewport) with index -2.
All fn’s above works fine here and return true
if the object has this channels.

In case this help…
Open Search tab in the help and type alpha AND vertex.
It s’d find topic: Accessing the Viewport Vertex Alpha Values

Cheers!
