how to set material dir for face in NX 9 (acc to Catia V5 material dir in Join)

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...

yes there is Edit- Surface - reverse normal, -but,
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.

Tomas

Thank's I will use reverse normal.
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:
