# setVertexBuffers(_:offsets:range:)

Assigns multiple buffers to a range of entries in the vertex shader argument table.

## Declaration

```swift
func setVertexBuffers(_ buffers: [(any MTLBuffer)?], offsets: [Int], range: Range<Int>)
```

## Parameters

- `buffers`: An array of doc://com.apple.metal/documentation/Metal/MTLBuffer instances the command assigns to entries in the vertex shader argument table for buffers.
- `offsets`: An array of integers. Each element represents the location, in bytes, from the start of the corresponding doc://com.apple.metal/documentation/Metal/MTLBuffer element in buffers where the vertex shader argument data begins. See the https://developer.apple.com/metal/Metal-Feature-Set-Tables.pdf to check for offset alignment requirements for buffers in device and constant address space.
- `range`: A span of integers that represent the entries in the vertex shader argument table for buffers. Each entry stores a record of the corresponding element in buffers and offsets.

## Discussion

Discussion By default, the buffer at each index is nil. note: The Objective-C version of this method is setVertexBuffers:offsets:withRange:.
