Loft normal direction

What controls a loft's normal direction? I've created a number of loft objects that when they are converted to editable polys, the normal face is downward. I didn't have had this issue in the past. How can I flip the loft objects? Thanks.

For open shapes the direction of the normal is determined by the direction of the curve was drawn.  Drawing a shape in a counter clockwise direction will orient normals to point outward.
