## NormalDirection

`SvtBuilder.``NormalDirection`

  Returns or sets the vector that represents the normal direction for the view to be created or edited.

  The vector is used only if the Orientation flag is on. The purpose of the direction vectors is make a simple, simulated pictorial view. Consequently it is expected that a desireable orientation will need to be found interactive using the tool, and that specification by vectors will be of marginal use. The ability to specifiy the orientation is being included only for completeness.
