Hi, Would it be possible for you to work in UV coordinates and find the length from current point to next point either on U or on V axis, and then use that length as a scalar multiplier to your normalized surface normal? It gets a little more complicated (mainly in managements) if you need lengths from some combination of U and V together on a more complicated geometry. Other way, it may be easier if you can remap your polygons from 3D coordinate to UV coordinates and extract necessary info from there. Or, if it's simpler case, perhaps you can also find the surface area of a polygon and use that as a scalar multiplier for the normal instead instead? Hope that helps.
