Turquoise Line (warning?) / Flipping All Normals to One Direction
Hi folks,
Been a while. I'm getting this cropping up on a few of my models and I'm wondering what it is. I've had a look in the manual but I can't seem to find any mention of it. Also, just to save making two threads: Is there a way of selecting a whole model and flipping all of its normals to face the same direction? I have a dress made in Marvelous Designer and the back of it is inverted, but, if you know MD's meshes, you'll understand it's going to be a nightmare to select all of the faces that need flipping. Thanks, Glen. |

Oh, I found it... I need to select the object then go to the object menu and optimise the vertices and surfaces. I've sorted the normals out, painful as it was, but if anyone does know (perhaps there's a plugin?) I'd be very interested!

To help selecting surfaces for this sort of thing, use drag-select - hold down shift and control then drag the let mouse button over surfaces to select. Drag the right mouse button to deselect.
