Hi. I am maintaining custom metadata for nodes in grid (and layered grid) graphs and want to draw some debug information. I am using SolidPlane to draw some info, but cannot get the node’s orientation to match with the grid rendered by the AstarPath inspector. Is there a simple way that I can basically get the shape of the node that is rendered by AstarPath gizmos?
Really quick I want to be able to help here, but I’m a little confused- you’d need the orientation of a single node to match the grid made by the AstarPath? Would the orientation mean much in this context since they’re always square? Let me know and I’ll see what I can learn to help 
Hi
@tealtxgr I believe @nehvaleem is talking about the normal, or slope, of the surface.
The nodes themselves don’t really have a normal. So this is not exposed anywhere. The graph visualization will instead position the y coordinate of tile corners at the average of all y coordinates of the nodes that touch that corner.
The relevant code is in the GridGraph.CreateNavmeshSurfaceVisualization method.

Ahhhh that makes much more sense. The cons of opening my Astar troubleshooting Unity project where the map is completely flat. I did not take into account a non-flat map haha. Thanks
