Get aligned points and vectors to preview the normal direction of any Honeybee geometry object the Rhino scene, including all sub-faces and assigned shades.

### Inputs

* **hb\_objs \[Required]**

A Honeybee Model, Room, Face, Shade, Aperture, or Door for which points and vectors will be output in the Rhino scene to show the object's orientation.

### Outputs

* **points**

Points that lie at the center of each surface of the connected \_hb\_objs. These should be connected to the "Anchor" input of a native Grasshopper "Vector Display" component.

* **vectors**

Normal vectors for each surface of the connected \_hb\_objs. These should be connected to the "Vector" input of a native Grasshopper "Vector Display" component.
