Built In Attributes

These attributes are recognized by blender and used or created by objects or modifiers

Attributes that cannot be used in procedural context cannot be modified or read by Geometry Nodes setups, and are only for internal use or require specialized node to edit their value

Attributes that have a name that starts with a . are usually hidden attributes that are not visible in the attribute list
