Example Version

GetNormal Method (TinTriangle)
Gets the vector normal to this TIN triangle. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Syntax
public Coordinate3D GetNormal()

Return Value

Example
TIN Triangles
// nodes, edges of the triangle
var triNnodes = triangle.Nodes;
var triEdges = triangle.Edges;

// triangle geometry
var polygon = triangle.ToPolygon();
// triangle length
var triLength = triangle.Length;
// triangle area 
var triArea = triangle.Area;
// is the triangle "inside"
var isInsideTriangle = triangle.IsInsideDataArea;

// triangle aspect and slope  (radians)
var aspect = triangle.Aspect;
var slope = triangle.Slope;

// get centroid
var centroid = triangle.GetCentroid();

// get normal
var normal = triangle.GetNormal();

// get adjacent triangles
var adjTriangles = triangle.GetAdjacentTriangles();

// get area of triangle that falls between the z values
double minZ = 1.0;
double maxZ = 3.0;
IReadOnlyList<Coordinate3D> coords = triangle.GetPointsBetweenZs(minZ, maxZ);
