Flipping individual faces is not needed if your model doesn't have errors, ie faces or edges inside the model.

DG to find holes just use the extrude (e) and where ever you don't have a closed mesh it'll show you. (btw you need to have all the verts selected, to do this press "a").




I think I'm an expert on blender....or is that an oxymoran?

There are no holes. I am that. Damn. Good.

There may be no holes but if you are having a face prob the you got faces or edges where they shouldn't be.

Remember "I am that. Damn. Good." too

forgot this. Diamond did you even try to use the face flipping feature in Blender?

Enter edit mode on the mesh (tab) then press 'a' to select all the verticles. After that press 'ctrl+n' to flip all to face normals the outside, or 'ctrl+shift+n' to flip the face normals to the inside.

Hope this helps

Bin flipping me faces in trueSpace. When I load the DXF, each chunk of the model is inside-out bar one probe thingy on the nose of it [], so I just select Flip Face and click the various sections until everything's A1 SUPAR.

As for the Blender knockers out there - in game, this model has one 'issue' that I can see, but that may have to do with me putting a couple of faces too close together. I'm experimenting to see if I can fix it, but if I can't then I'm not too bothered since this little forray in to the big scary world of 3D modelling has already gone above and beyond () my expectations...
