Sets the normals associated with the input components to the average of adjacent normals.

Note: This command will create user normals for the input components if required.

AverageUserNormals( [InputObjs], [Distance], [BleedSelection] );

Parameter	Type	Description
InputObjs	String	List of components. Default Value: Currently selected components
Distance	Integer	Cutoff distance factor for averaging adjacent normals. Default Value: If not specified, the Tweak User Normal tool setting will be used
BleedSelection	Boolean	True to extend edge/polygon selections to include neighboring vertices. Default Value: If not specified, the Tweak User Normal tool setting will be used

Python Example

# Create a cube and set the user normals to the average of the normals

app = Application

app.CreatePrim("Cube", "MeshSurface")

app.AverageUserNormals(None, None, 0)
