Try using the calculator to create a X-Normal variable, then sort the spreadsheet on that? Also, you should be able to threashold on the X-Normal variable, then everything that shows in the spreadsheet (which you can sort) would show what you want?

I am viewing the Normals on the mesh in both 3D and spreadsheet format. I would like to sort and select the values in the Normals column (which are actually 3 values separated by a space delimiter, X Normal, Y Normal and Z Normal). For example, I would like to select the X Normals with X > 0.95 but it appears impossible to do this (either with the 'Find Data' tool or manipulating the spreadsheet). Does anyone have any idea about how to accomplish this? It appears the filter is not making these Normal numerical values accessible for querying or sorting. thanks, Jack
