Description
The Mesh HarmonizeNormals command harmonizes the normals of mesh objects.
Usage
- Select one or more mesh objects.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Harmonize normals button.
- Select the Meshes → Harmonize normals option from the menu.
Notes
- This command can produce a mesh with flipped normals. The Mesh FlipNormals command can be used to correct this.
- For a clear indication of the orientation of the faces of mesh objects make sure the ViewLighting property of the mesh objects is set to
One side
. The color of the back side of their faces will then depend on the backlight settings: Edit → Preferences... → Display → 3D View → Backlight color - Intensity. See: Preferences Editor.
