Face front side outwards
-
Hi All,
I have a model of 300 buildings. I’m trying to apply certain materials to some facades on the model. But some of the facades represented by faces are inside out. Each face in sketchup has two sides and some of the faces in my model have the back side facing outwards of the building.
My question is “Is there a code or a plugin to use to flip all the faces that have the back side facing the outwards at once?”Thanks in advance

The right-click Orient will match all connected faces' orientation to one selected face.
Unfortunately if the parts are physically separated or inside groups/instances each part needs processing separately.There are several scripts to reverse faces and manipulate there materials - do a search for '+Plugin +Reverse' - it depends on what the nature of the problem is...
Applying a material to a back-face will still look and render OK within Sketchup, BUT if you are exporting it to another renderer then you need to sort out the face orientation because many renderer apps don't consider back-face material at all...

Hi, morci429:
Perhaps this recent development from honoluludesktop?http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=32088#p283327
