#### Copy Active Normal to Selected:

Copy the active loop normal or active vertex normal to all selected points.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use this feature if you want the other selected normals to copy the active normal (last selected). Great for precise edit like shading the face of a character or control hair shading.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Note: This copies and applies the change at the same time.
{% endhint %}

#### Store Active Normal:

Store in memory the active vertex/loop normal.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note: This only copies the normals.
{% endhint %}

#### Paste Stored Normal:

Paste the stored normal onto the selected points.
