Face Normals

Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Face Normals node.#

• The first way to create a Face Normals node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
  • faceNormals, normal, face
• The second way is to select a Face Normals node from the menu that opens from the top left.
  • Menu > Tool > Surface > Face Normals

Steps#

• Create a Face Normals node.
• Connect the surface for normal and center point extraction to the port.

After creating the node, connect the surface for normal and center point extraction to the port. On the output ports, we will get the center points which contains the center points of all faces in the surface, and normals which contains the normal vectors of all faces in the surface. The normal vector of a face is a vector that is perpendicular to the face.
