Description

Returns the surface normal for the specified triangle. This is a vector orthogonal to the plane of the triangle.

Triangle is the triangle index.

pNormal is a vector whose component properties are to be set. It must be instantiated before calling the method. The magnitude of the result is not normalized, it is relative to the size of the triangle. If you need it normalized call IVector3D.Normalize.
