Using the spin tool in Blender 3d/ Reversed faces?

Ladytron · Nov 2013

I used the spin tool in blender 3d. I did everything right but the problem is after the spin some of the faces (or normals?) are facing the opposite direction of each other. Why does this happen? I want them to face the correct way... which is outward not inward, because then the faces are hidden, and that's not good. How do I fix this?

Thank you in advance!

I haven't used the spin tool thing before, but if you want the normals to be facing a certain dierction : in edit mode look on the toolbar for "recalculate normals" or "flip direction" the shortcut is (ctrl + N)

Thank you Jeza. I think the recalculate normals worked.

Your problem most likely happens if you spin or scale something by a negative value, which means that the normal direction is also multiplied by a negative value.
