Smithjoe1 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I've been having this problem I've been trying to work out but haven't come to any solution yet. I'm using a Copy Stamp and a cookie SOP to carve up a pattern from a trace SOP, however, a lot of the time the result comes across with some flipped primitive normals, some are fine, some are reversed. So is there any way I can either separate them (haven't worked out a way to translate in a certain direction depending on which direction the primitive is facing) so I can delete the ones that aren't reversed (Facing up) so I can then reverse the other ones and merge them back together and have them universal, or just use a SOP that will align them all. The point normals are all fine and seem to work totally independent from the primitive normals, so cant really use a point SOP for it. Cheers, Smithjoe1.

sibarrick Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Try the orient function of the facet sop. You can translate in the direction of the normals using a peak sop. You could also use the delete sop and use the delete back facing option on the normal tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, you legend, turns out it was all in a delete sop, thankfully it was all in a plane, I spent far too long trying to work out an elegant solution but thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
