## Summary

Given a face, this custom block will place four random points on the face and then create a plane that is normal to the first three points and is centered between all four points. For best results choos either a small portion of a mesh face

Given a face, this custom block will place four random points on the face and then create a plane that is normal to the first three points and is centered between all four points. For best results choos either a small portion of a mesh face or a flat face.

## Installation

Clone this repo or copy the package folder into your nTop workspace:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/nTopology/Utilities.git
```

The package lives at `packages/ntop/center-plane-of-mesh-face/`.

## Inputs

| Name          | Type | Description                                                                                                 |
| ------------- | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Mesh Face`   | Mesh | The mesh face to sample points from and derive the center plane. For best results use a small or flat face. |
| `Flip Normal` | bool | Reverses the plane normal direction. Use if the output plane is pointing away from the intended side.       |

## Outputs

| Name           | Type  | Description |
| -------------- | ----- | ----------- |
| `Center Plane` | plane | Output.     |
