Surface Edit > Orientation > Reverse Surface Orientation

Reverses the orientation of a surface without affecting the U or V parametric directions. Construction history is also preserved.

This tool lets you manually reverse the orientation of a single surface at a time, without any shading of your model. It is useful for fine alterations.

To reverse the orientation of a single surface

Choose Surface Edit > Orientation > Reverse Surface Orientation.
Click a surface for which you want to reverse the orientation.
An arrow appears to show which way the surface is facing.
- A light blue arrow means that the surface is facing you.
- A yellow arrow means that the surface is facing away from you.
Do any of the following:
- Click Reverse Active to reverse the orientation of the last surface you clicked.
- Click Reverse All to reverse the orientation of all selected surfaces.
The direction of the U and V parameters is not affected. Construction history is preserved.
