Used to change the orientation of each face in a mesh element and any attached normals.
You can access this tool from the following:
- Ribbon:
- Toolbox:
Modify Meshes
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Display |
Sets the display of the mesh:
- Face Plane Normal, Vertex Order - Displays the facet plane normal and the vertex order.
- Vertex Normal - Displays the vertex normal.
- Both - Displays the facet plane normal, vertex order, and the vertex normal.
|
| Mode |
Sets which mode is used to change the mesh.
- Reverse Vertex Order around all facets - Reverses the vertex order of all the facets of a mesh element.
- Make vertex order consistent around all facets - Makes all the facets in a mesh element have the same normal direction.
- Make stored normal at vertices consistent with vertex order - TBD
- Average Normal - Hides the facet edges whose angle is equal to or less than the average normal value set in the text field.
