Input ports
| Name | Type | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface | Surface | Surface for normal and center point extraction |
Output ports
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Centers | Point | Center-points of all faces |
| Normals | Vector | Normal vectors for all faces |
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.
