Thorsten Behrens  updated OFFICE-2854:
--------------------------------------


Confirming Dennis' assumption. Normalized normal vector is a surface normal (i.e. a vector perdendicular to a surface), that is normalized - i.e. of unit length. I don't think the [0,0,0] case needs any mentioning, it is not a valid normal vector anyways.

> Now reads: " If this value represents a normal, then it should be normalized."
> normal in our 3D attributes says: "only the front sides of planes are displayed."
> Ignoring that we use "normal" to mean several other things, I don't know what it means here? 
> Clearly the language implies some operation on the x,y,z coordinates but it isn't clear what that operation would be.
