Walter Baker Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Greetings everyone, Merry Christmas to all. Have a question, I was checking my normals to make sure they were all facing correctly when I ran up on at least 2 that wont flip. Any ideas on how to get these guys to flip around?

Ganthofer Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Merry Christmas Wally First, how are you trying to select the patch to flip the normal? Did you use the Patch Selection tool or the lasso tool or just the normal cursor and select the 4 points? The only possibility I can think of is, there are duplicate CP's and the actual patch CP's are not all being selected. Did you create this model using copy flip attach? Check the 4 CP's in wire frame mode by moving each one (then undo), one at a time to see if you have some duplicate CP's/Splines. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Baker Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I did the SHIFT-P to select, F to flip...... Then tried to right click and Flip Normals. didnt work. I will check the CPs like you suggested, bet thats the problem. Thanks for the quick reply. Bingo, that worked. went to wireframe, selected each CP then flipped. Thanks for the help. Have a great day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
