Geometry1D.Normal

Description

Get the normal at a given 1D geometry

Scripting Syntax

oBoolean = Geometry1D.Normal( compIdx, compNor );

Return Value

Boolean. True if the normal is valid; otherwise False

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
compIdx Integer Index of the component

Possible Values:

Description:

0 The compIdx must be valid
compNor SIVector3 Upon return, contains the normal at the (compIdx)th 1D geometry

Examples

VBScript Example

'Create a cube

CreatePrim "Cube", "MeshSurface"

set oSelList = GetValue("SelectionList")

set oItem = oSelList(0)

set oGeometry = oItem.obj

oNb1D = oGeometry.Nb1D

set o1DGeometry = oGeometry.Geometry1D

set oNor = XSIMath.CreateVector3()

' Loop on all the 1D geometry

for i = 0 to oNb1D - 1

if o1DGeometry.Normal( i, oNor ) then

LogMessage "Component [" & i & "] normal : " & oNor.x & " | " & oNor.y & " | " & oNor.z 

end if 

next
