Hi Val - I'll take a look at tuning this up for Mirror when I get back from vacation. For v1 there aren't going to be any manual normal-orienting tools inside of MoI because there aren't really any operations currently inside of MoI that are dependent on one particular orientation. For V2 I would like to add some kind of manual "flip" function to help for exporting, where the program that you are exporting to does need a particular orientation.

The Join tool will do this if all your pieces join together to make a fully closed solid. Then the normals will point "outward" from the solid.

But if the object is not a fully closed solid (if there are any edges not joined to another edge), then it is not easy for MoI to automatically analyze the object to determine outside/inside type categorization.
