Normal Orientation

Hi Michael,

maybe... I just missed the button... but sometimes when I connect two lines to a surface they are crossed in the middle,
is there anything I can unify the orientation or the normal or flip it?

Hi Thorsten, I think you mean when using loft?

Right now the way it works is that MoI will connect together the ends that were closest to the point where you clicked on each curve.

So to avoid the crossing, make sure you click nearer to the ends you want to line up. Here is an illustration:



If you do a window select around the curves (instead of clicking on them), then MoI will automatically decide which ends to line up.

I think that in the future I'm going to change this to always do the automatic decide, and then have some way to change it afterwards if it is wrong, that should make it easier to run it.

- Michael
