==Notes==
Verify this action by
*selecting the mesh in the tree-view
*switching to the view-tab
*setting Lighting to "one side"
*faces with normals pointing away from the screen will turn black


* For a clear indication of the orientation of the faces of mesh objects make sure the {{PropertyView|Lighting}} property of the mesh objects is set to {{Value|One side}}. The color of the back side of their faces will then depend on the backlight settings: {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences... → Display → 3D View → Backlight color - Intensity}}.

Description

The Mesh FlipNormals command reverses, flips, the normals of mesh objects.

Usage

  1. Select one or more mesh objects.
  2. Select the Meshes → Flip normals option from the menu.

Notes

  • For a clear indication of the orientation of the faces of mesh objects make sure the ViewLighting property of the mesh objects is set to One side. The color of the back side of their faces will then depend on the backlight settings: Edit → Preferences... → Display → 3D View → Backlight color - Intensity. See: Preferences Editor.
