Description

Inverts the normals of the selected entities.

The appearance of an entity with normals changes depending on the orientation of the light relatively to the normals:

  • for a cloud, backward lit points will appear black
  • for a mesh (with default material), backward lit triangles will appear in light blue (while forward lit triangles will be green)
