Mesh Holes

Is there an easy way in Max to see if all of your mesh is outwardly facing, short of sticking it inside an inverted box/sphere and actually looking? Like some sort of modifier/tool/script that'll look at a mesh and go "nope, i can see a hole right there...)?

I thought "STL Check" did something like this, but apparently it's for something else entirely. I've been doing manual checks so far, but it'd be nice if this was automated somehow.

There may be a way to check that using the xView tools in the viewport menu.

Huh, never tried that before. "Face Orientation" will highlight backfaces in green, which makes holes much easier to see. Not automatic, but takes a lot of the "is that correct?" guesswork out of it. Thanks!
