Hi,

I'm using select faces in Milkshape to fix a model - currently not all its faces, err, face the right direction, so I'm selecting those cases, and reversing that faces vertex order. Lovely.

Only problem is, some faces won't select. I've played about the back faces etc. and just can't get some to select, either that or they do select but when I shift-control-f some other near face gets switched also. Any ideas?

Ps. I may be doing this the hard way - if there is a way in MilkShape to select all faces that arn't facing inward (its a closed model), make them face out. I did try just hacking around it by setting cull to 1 in DB, but even then the model still didn't display properly (it had 'holes' in it where certain faces were not drawn).

Cheers

been a few months since i loaded up milkshape but the way I did it was to first select the faces that were blocking my turned faces and hid them... Think it was ctrl+h for hide selection..

the other way is to use the hide face command, it's in the face menu, you then select the view you want to hide (top, front, back, etc..) then you select if you want to hide front faces or backfaces... this should allow you to single out the ones facing the wrong direction...

good luck...

Thanks - I'll give that a try, its a pity you can't do face selection in the 3d window. I wonder if Blender or other would let you do that, hmm.. may look into that at some point.

Cheers

I upgraded my modeling to app to Max 8 back in November 2005 and it's pretty nice working in 3d vs milkshape....
