Flip Normal

Anonymous
Not applicable

 

I realize that flip normal is possible with work plane only, not possible with XY, YZ and XZ plane. If we want to change the side of the XY, YZ & XZ plane what should be done?

 

Because I wish to work on the colour of my choice.

Hi,

 

I really don't get why you want to do this...

There is a reason why you can't flip the normal of the origin planes.

They are directly linked to the coordinate system.

The color of the planes indicate the front and back side (light being the front side and dark being the back side).

If you want to sketch on "darker" planes then you could change the color theme in the application options.

This will affect all planes though.

 

If you insist in sketching on the dark side of the planes without messing with the coordinate system you could create new workplanes with a offset of "0" and flip that.

But I suggest you use the planes as they are intended to avoid problems later on.

Hi Fiat.

No, you can't.

 

This is what you can do in alternative
