## VertexElementTangent class

Defines tangent vectors for specified components.



**Inheritance:** [`VertexElementTangent`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/vertexelementtangent) → 
[`VertexElementVector4`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/vertexelementvector4) → 
[`VertexElement`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/vertexelement)



The VertexElementTangent type exposes the following members:

### Constructors
