Hi I am trying to find the normal of a face where I have a datum point on the edge.

I have queried the coordinates of the datum point and am trying to input this into the getNormal function but keep getting syntax errors.

could somebody supply me with an example where the function is used where the optional point argument is used. I can get it to work if I don't specify a point but need to find the normal at a specific point

the coordinates I want to input are (10.0, 30.0, 20.0)

function can be found in the script doc under 7.6.5 getNormal(...)
