public method SetPosition(index: int, position: Vector3): void;
public void SetPosition(int index, Vector3 position);

Parameters

index Which position to set.
position The new position.

Description

Set the position of a vertex in the line.

Consider using SetPositions instead, if setting multiple positions, as it is much faster than making individual function calls for each position.

See Also: numPositions property.
