how to set material dir for face in NX 9 (acc to Catia V5 material dir in Join)
(OP)
Hi All
Is there (in NX 9) a option to set material dir for faces?,(ex. Catia-Invert orientation).
Replace (while mapping)don't show the material dir.
When I repalce surface for new one I don't know what is the material direction and the result is completly mess in some trim operations...
Cheers
Wojtek

I have never seen any real need for it since all features , which depend on the normal direction, have the option of flipping the direction.
There is no need to flip the normal before the replace face operation.

This Replace face is from Synchronus Toolbar, I normally use Replace Feature.
Many times I have to import external ref. as orphan and replace them in my Input data.
Normal dir. while mapping in Catia V5:
