I was mistaken. Apparently, the intersection of the Normal, of a Complex shaped surface, with the surface is not at the Center of the object (Center of Mass). The images in the previous posting were actually made by positioning the beginning of the path at the base of the Normal, and not the center of mass. For the triangle that I used, the position of the Normal and the Center of Mass are the same, but for more complex shapes, they are not the same.
