Problem with curve's normals orientation

[karas]

Hello,

I’m having trouble with curve’s normals orientation. My initial geometry is a mesh, and I need curves from mesh faces because I’ll need them for loft component later. The problem is that when I use deconstruct brep and evaluate surface - from mesh faces, all vector normals are oriented outwards (correct normals), BUT when I do evaluate surface - from curves from mesh faces, some normals get filpped and some don’t (wrong normals).
Is there any way that I can unify curve’s normals so that they are all oriented outwards? Please note that I need the final geometry to be a curve.

Hi,

I’m not really a fond of casting surfaces to curves and to surface again.
Using Deconstruct Brep + Join Curves, it seems all curves are counter-clockwise.
They are not planar though so you can’t use Planar to get the normal. You may need to keep the surfaces for orientation later on.

Face Boundaries + Face Normals also work directly.

Thank you very much!

This works well! When I use loft component afterward, all surfaces have the same orientation.
