Hi Pilou,

re:
> The fact that extrude works for both in the same time only when on face is flipped...

It doesn't do that.

Flip can flip the direction of selected curves or a surface or entire joined surface.

It doesn't do anything on a face selection.

Extrude does work on this if one or both faces are selected, without any flipping.

However extruding a face selection also tries to do a boolean with the extrusion and that won't work very well if the object isn't a solid. You can turn off the boolean by setting the "Keep separate" option.

So select one or both faces, use "Set dir" and set "Keep separate", should work - no flipping needed.

Thanks for the precisions!

But curious!

Hi Pilou, that's all normal behavior.

re:
> Just Flip one face

Does nothing

quote:
If sub-objects are selected, the selection will be limited to other sub-objects. For example, if you have an edge of a solid selected, this will select all edges of that solid and not other objects.

THx for the precision : so a selective selection! :)
