allllrighty.. as some of you may no (or not:hmm: ) i was workin on this lambo quite awhile ago.. this is my first project in 3dsm ever.. i worked on it a lot a few months ago, then school got kinda crazy so i stopped.. but now im back at it.. so this is the body.. well.. this is part of the body..

so here's my problem.. (you can prob already tell).. i need some of those faces to face the otherway.. so i do the "flip normals" and get the second image... okkk.. but then the first ones are gone...

so i attached all the splines togehter, unified normals, and got one big blob.. its looking better!

but it still needs some help.. these pieces are missing:

any suggestions? the body itself isn't really done.. still needs some tweaking, but thought id throw this up and see what you all had to say about the faces..
thanks!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

**it occurs to me now, that perhaps this is better placed in the 3dsm forum.. if so, feel free to move it ***

Why don't you try detaching the mesh into different pieces, then apply flip normals?

Perhaps you could weld them back if you need to :)

i KNEW there was stuff missing.. so i had opened the wrong file.. thats what happens when something sits for months at a time..

ok, so yeah, mwkmn, you were right.. thats what i was doing.. and it does work, i was just being stupid.. so here's the new problem..

half of that works.. but i need the other half there too:

what to do, what to do, what to do.. should i just break them up? i would relaly rather leave them together, but ive tried lotsa stuff.. done unify.. didn't work.. but im a noob, so any and all suggestions are worth my time to try..

thanks!
