## VertexElement class

  Base class of vertex elements.  A vertex element type is identified by VertexElementType.  A VertexElement describes how the vertex element is mapped to a geometry surface and how the mapping information is arranged in memory.  A VertexElement contains Normals, UVs or other kind of information.  @hideconstructor
