Effect -> Order

The Effect -> Order command in the Model module automatically reorders the polygons of a polygon mesh object. It compares each polygon to its neighbours starting with the first polygon, and reorders them accordingly. If there is a conflict that creates a collision between polygons, the appropriate point or edge is duplicated.

Note:: This command is especially useful for objects converted from other file formats (such as DXF, Wavefront, or Vertigo), since not all systems calculate front/back faces or the orientation of object normals.

Procedure

1. Select a polygon mesh object.

2. Choose the Effect -> Order command.
