flipping normals

Richard Gardner

 

Hi,

I am having a few cases where I link my 3d model into 3ds Max and the normals are flipped. Now, I can correct this in 3ds max but thigs are just easier if they import correctly to start with. It's mainly geometry that I have mirrored in BricsCAD that has this problem. Question is, is there any way to flip the norrmals of a 3d solid in BricsCAD?

Many thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

If you don't mind trying a third-party tools, I believe that our CADPower already has an answer to your requirements. Try the CP_FACENORMAL command. It was written exactly to address this kind of need.
