      I heard of a plugin that helps orient faces correctly. Either by orienting all faces to the camera or otherwise expediting the process. I downloaded TIG Orient_Faces.Rb but nothing appears to be available. It is in the plugin folder but SU does not even report an error loading. I am using SU 6 Pro. Any way to speed this up? Seems most of the time I use a tool the faces are wrong. Thanks.

          My orient_faces code is a method to use within other tools - it mimics the built-in 'orient' tool... used as face.orient_faces... but you need to have defined 'face' initially...
          You need to read its notes...

            Many thanks TIG, Pilou. I'll look into it.

              Tomasz Marek has a plugin called "Front Face" that reverses back faces by just hovering the mouse over them. It even reverses back faces inside groups. 😲 Get it here:

                Thank you, Miguel. That's the one I ended up using. Thanks for the link to Tomasz' site, too. I've never looked at it before. Pretty cool.
