Normal Proj: this is a cylindrical projection. Select the projection direction. Defaultly, if you don't specify any line or axis in Direction, it firstly tests whether the destination object is plannar. If it is, the direction is defaultly set as the normal of the plane. Otherwire, it tests whether the selected edge or wire is plannar shape, if it is, the plane normal is set as the projection direction.
