Normal3D (Standard name: Normal)
Normal is a set of 3D surface-normal vectors Normal values are optional perpendicular directions, used per-polygon or per-vertex for lighting and shading. Hint: used by IndexedFaceSet and ElevationGrid.

 |
normalize | SFBool | inputOutput | FALSE | specifies whether to normalize the normal vectors. TRUE normalizes the normals, FALSE doesn't normalize. | |
