    Hi together,
    I'm trying to read the data from a normal tag to export it. But if I try to get the data from the tag an error is thrown.
     
    My current code looks like this:

      
GetNormalData(normalTag)  
{  
 var data = normalTag->GetData();//Here the error occures  
 var vectorData = new(array, sizeof(data) / 3);  
 var i;  
 for (i = 0; i < sizeof(vectorData); i++)  
 {  
  vectorData = vnorm(vector(data[i * 3 + 0],  
        data[i * 3 + 1],  
        data[i * 3 + 2]));  
 }  
 return vectorData;  
}

    The error says: Too few parameters
    But a Normal Tag is a VariableTag and in the documentation it is said that VariableTag has a parameterless GetData() function.
    What am I doing wrong?
     
    Thanks for replies,
    UserXXX

    It seems like data access of the normal tag is not supported by COFFEE. I will ask the developers to make sure.

    cheers,

    Thank you, then I'll have to calculate normals before exporting
