Using the patch tool

I’m having some difficulty understanding the behaviour here. When I watched it in the level 2 vid it responded to the history function, and the normals were correct. In this case, there’s apparently no way to choose the items so that I get the outside facing me. Then when I try to use the history to make adjustments the new surface just detaches and goes flat.
