I'm looking to create a script which will create a csys at a selected node or at each of the selected nodes where the csys will have its Z direction normal to the underlying surface. Is this possible to script in ACT?
HI Many useful posts to help you get started with this. See these 2 for instance as a start, but there are more if you search in the forum:

All the best
