    Normal To

      Hey All,

       

      I have  a fairly simple question that I just can't seem to figure out. I'm trying to get my Normal To button either on the toolbar with View Orientation, Display Style, etc, or on the main ribbon but I can't find it. I have it on the smaller ribbon at school but don't remember how it got there. Any help would be great- thanks!

          Hi Quinn,


          Go to Tools, Customize, Command tab, Standard Views category and then drag that toolbar button to the location you want it.

          By the way, don't overlook the Normal To icon on the context toolbar that pops up when you select a plane or planar face (or when you use the right mouse button on one of those). Then you can use it without so much mouse movement if this represents some of the cases where you do want to use it.

           

          I hope this helps,

          Jim

            You could also use the Ctrl 8 keyboard combination.
