Normal

You can change the shade of the object by editing normal of the selected vertex, or make a crease to the object.

Edited normals are fixed. Their direction are not changed when you edit vertices of objects by other commands.

Edit Options

Pt|Ln|Fc / Apex
It specifies the method to select normal.
Show Normal
If it is unchecked, normals are not displayed.
You can set color and length of normal when clicking .
Handle
If it is unchecked, the handle is not displayed in [Rotate].

Edit Commands

Move
If you select normal and drag the mouse, the direction of normal move along the direction of mouse movement.
Select normals and drag mouse   Normals move to the direction
of mouse movement
Rotate
It rotates the direction of selected normal.
Unify
It unifies the direction of normals of selected vertices.
Select vertices   The direction of normals
of selected vertices become unified.
Averaging
The directions of each selected normals are averaged.
Specifying the range to be averaged by [Radius], the direction of each normal is averaged in this range.

example:
Select all normals   Average in Radius 100
Transcript
You can transcript the directions to selected normals from another object.

example:
obj1 obj2
Select obj2 on [Object list], and select all normal of obj2.
Click [Transcript] and set obj1 to [Source object]. Click [OK].
The directions of normals of obj1 are transcripted to obj2. The apparent shade of obj2 has changed.
Fix
It fixes the direction of selected normals to the current direction.
Normally, the directions of normals are reset when vertices are moved. But when those are fixed, those are not changed.
When you click [Unfix], selected normals are become to unfixed and reset the direction of normals.
Crease
It makes creases on the selected lines.
Select lines   The object looks added creases.
Select the crease line and click [Uncrease], the crease is released.

Property

Number Input
The directions of selected normals are displayed in the input box as the value of [Vector] or [Euler Angle]. Change their value and click [Apply], The direction is changed.
Copy
It copies the value of selected normal.
Paste
It pastes the copied value to currently selected normal and applies.
