API Question

[Jevakil]

Anyone knows how to show an arrow normal to a face?.

Here is what I am trying to do. I want to select a face and have an API function call that shows an arrow normal to that face; Similar to the one in "Linear Pattern", and "Draft" operations

A few more details, si vouz plais.

Basically all I am trying to do is to select a planar face and have an arrow appear on (normal to) it.

Just as when you select a face for draft operation, you see an arrow appear on the surface indicating direction of draft.

Some options....

•With 3D sketch, you can constrain a line perpendicular (normal) to a planar surface.

•temporarily... create a point on the surface at the selection point and axis through point and normal to surface to gain surface normal info

•get normal vector with Normal = Face2.Normal (VB Get property)

All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted.
