I updated the Flip One Normal tool to show surface orientation while you are in the flip command.

The orientation of facets is important when converting subdivision meshes to NURBs. In this video we use the Flip One Normal tool to identify and fix flipped normals. Once corrected we convert into a surface and thicken into a solid.

Hi Tim,
in 1050 the "Surface Normals Check" leaves me with a "hand cursor". I can´t select meshes.

[ >>"Surface Normals Check" leaves me with a "hand cursor".

Fixed in 1152. This tool takes everything displayed and does not require a selection. I also updated this to a tool palette in 1152.

I like the idea of having a UI for Powerpack! :-)
