Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: Face

Face.ComputeNormal

Method

Description:
Returns the normal vector for the face at the given point.

Remarks:
Differs from the normal returned from ComputeDerivatives(UV) in that this vector is the "face normal" vector. It will always be oriented to point out of a solid that contains the face.

Syntax

public XYZ ComputeNormal(
	UV point
)

Public Function ComputeNormal ( 
	point As UV
) As XYZ

public:
XYZ^ ComputeNormal(
	UV^ point
)

member ComputeNormal : 
        point : UV -> XYZ

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
point	UV	The parameters to be evaluated, in natural parameterization of the face.

Return Value
