The Flip command reverses the normal direction of an object.

Supported input objects
  • Curve, surface, polysurface, mesh, SubD, Clipping Plane and rectangle light.

Steps

  • Select objects.
    The command line reports the number of objects flipped.

Note

  • Closed polysurfaces and SubDs cannot have their normal direction facing toward the interior of the object.
  • The curve and surface directions affect the results of many surface creation commands and Boolean operations. If Boolean operations give unexpected results, such as a union instead of a difference, try flipping the normal direction of one or both of the surfaces.
