      Freely use, and abuse at your own risk. Fitness of use is not warranty implied.
      Unzip, and place "hdt_folder", and "reverse back face v1.9.rb" into the "plugins" folder. The menu selection is moved to "Tools" > "Reverse back faces". The plugin reverses the back face, and its texture in the exterior, or interior view of a model.

      This plugin is the result of Chris Fullmer's code and Tomasz's plugin

      10/15/2010 - v 1.0 Beta, first release.
      10/30/2010 - v 1.2 Beta, add "edit component" message.
      11/22/2010 - v 1.7 Not required to explode model.
      11/26/2010 - v 1.8 Retain last scanning rate.
      12/19/2010 - v 1.9 Improve menu locations.

        thanks for this tool.
        I ask a question.

        for what served reverse the faces?
        for mi:
        It useful, if the sides do not have material , > see all face the same color.
        and
        in the vray render engine.

        has more advantage?

          Diego, I work with many Cad applications, and use this plugin whenever imported Cad files have their faces reversed. I don't recall off hand, but I have read reasons that others have for wanting the correct face orientation in their models.

              Yes, it is designed to flip the front face towards the viewer.

                Major upgrade. Reverse back face no longer requires exploding, or manually "edit(ing) component(s)", or groups.

                    No, it only reverses the back face of surfaces facing the camera.

                      This plugin, unfortunately, doesn't appear to work on my Mac. Can anyone else equipped a Mac, repeat?

                      A real shame, because I am suffering from flipped normal overload. 😒

                              Sorry, wrong icon. Correct icons here. Because I am constantly working on the program, I made a mistake about which version, and its required support file is currently posted.

                                      Update improves user interface, and relocates menus. The application will recall the last selected scanning accuracy factor.
