Mirrored objects with custom shape becomes dark

[guldbergdk]

[ FlexSim 24.0.0 ]

Found this odd issue when trying to create a mirrored copy of a basicFR with a custom loaded .dea shape. If I mirror it in Flexsim by copying the original and setting the dimension to minus in the Y direction it becomes dark. The same thing happens if it mirror the shape in blender and create a new object and import it.

Any workarounds?Pallet work station.fsm

It looks like the normals are pointing inward, so either use a menu option in an external tool to do the mirror, or recalculate the normals.

The last version where a negative dimension would not cause a dark image was v7.1.
