How to find a Normal Direction e.g (90 or 120 etc)

[Anonymous]

Hi!

Is there a way to find a Normal Direction?

Are you referring to a surface or curve?  I know definitely for a surface, you have pointOnSurfaceInfo for nurbs and pointOnMeshInfo for meshes.  For nurbsCurves, there's pointOnCurveInfo.  This might have normal information on it.  I've never paid attention to that.

can you please explain a bit, are these script names or what?

These are nodes.  "createNode pointOnSurfaceInfo".

So it appears "pointOnMeshInfo" is part of the BonusTools.  I have been using these for so long I don't even remember where they come from.
