Going nuts - Orient Faces
-
Tomasz's FrontFace will make quick work of it.
-
There IS in the context menu. Make sure however NOT to pre-select multiple faces - just right click the ONE you want all the others oriented with.
It will work with unexpected results however when the model is not "solid" (with a newer SU term).
-
I do that by selecting faces, right mouse button click, select "invert faces". It works also with multiple selectons ...

OK, it worked. Thankyou.
I was selecting the whole surface, rather than a single face.But why is that tool NOT in any help file? I searched under both Face and Orient. NO hits dealing with Orient Face.

This place is the addendumto the help file.

Agreed, but it is just a little slower in finding things.
Much better explanations though.

Hi folks.
After entering the Help center directly from the Help Menu of SU, I typed "orient face" (without the quotes) in the search field and I get there:
http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/search.py?ctx=en%3Asearchbox&query=orient+face
If I click on the first link I get there:
http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=70117
If I scroll down I see this:
----- START OF EXCERPT -----
Orient Faces
The Orient Faces menu item is used to automatically orient all the connected faces of your model to the orientation of the currently selected face. This option could lead to unexpected results when an edge of a face bounds three or more other faces.This menu item is available for the Face and Surface entities.
----- END OF EXCERPT -----
Just ideas.

(with SU Scripts or Reverse, Orient functions
Hands are necessary
