You're a legend, I've been working non stop hours, and days just trying to fix this problem. The solution was so simple :')

[@1Uik1]

[@CroomMusic]

[@GoddFatherrs]

Best video

[@3DCGdesign]

2:21 perfect. thank you.

[@Gameatronic9000]

40 min of shift+n, ctrl+n, shift+ctrl+n, other options, manually recalculating.
this is just the greatest answer.
THANK YOU, this will save so much time over trying to do it manually

[@MWard-kp3dk]

Oh my god this was so quick and easy! My blender has somehow been reversing the faces and this helped so much, thank you. You saved multiple of my assets

[@lottos_tanktop]

i always forget how to do this, so thank you. i hope anyone having trouble with wrong facing faces finds this helpful

[@phansontung6496]

Your a life-saver man, been bugged with this problem non-stop before watching this. Keep up your good work!

[@NotLejam009-]

Wow. For the whole year i've been using blender and sometimes getting this problem and now it's fixed on all my models. Thanks

[@BoxBishop]

FINALLY! good quick tutorial explaining how to fix things instead of 20 minutes of offtopic about his pet or plant or whatever. thank you mate.

[@chugotit]

Love this! Simple and easy. Excellent video!

[@manmondayful]

Thankyou you have saved me so much time. I have been clicking on each indivual face and then Flip Normals. Doing it your way is far faster

[@rbgohome]

Awesome guide.... thank you!
It does not only apply to 3D entities but also to STL export for 3D printing.
I used a cylinder as a starting point, removed the top and bottom faces and started edge loop offset extrusions to the outside, round to the top edge again, resulting in a torus with a special cross section profile. The exported STL still assumed that that initial cylinder wall was a solid to the inside, while in Blender edit I removed them.
Flipping those initial wall face normals was the key. Thanks again, for sharing this piece of insight.

[@light2267]

Hello! I have a question, right now I am trying to do a kind of hat for roblox studio but all the faces that are inside the hat and the inside part of the bottom of the hat are red, I tried the first method of the video and all the faces inside of the hat I mentioned before are invisible. Could you please give me some advice with it and also I hope you are ok since your comment was 9 months ago. I'm sorry if there are some grammar mistakes, english isn't my first language. Blesses.

[@rbgohome]

​@@light2267 Is the head a solid volume, or is it just planes? In case of planes, you need to thicken the subject so it becomes a solid, with planes having normals to the outside/worldspace..

[@ginho3848]

Saved my life. I actually wanted to go select individual faces to shift n, for a very complicated model. Thank you 😭

[@yosimadsu2189]
