Default face normal
Default face normal
(OP)
Hello
I'm trying to measure an angle between two faces of solid body. Sometimes it happens that vector normal to faces point inside my solid, giving improper measurement.
Is there any way to fix default face normal vector direction or to force measure feature to automatically use normal vectors that point out of solid?
NX 7.5.5

1) For example when I try to put Datum Point on it using point on face selection filter the point appears somewhere in the space.
2) When I try to create Datum Axis using point and direction and select point on edge of this face and that face as direction it goes wrong direction. This happens only on this particular face (among all faces in my model).
