Reversing surface normals

Hello, I have created a surface in Revit, but it appears that the surface normals are reversed from where I would like them to be. Is there a way to reverse the direction of the normals of my surface?

@ind9 Can u pls attach your problem as a screenshot over here for to clearly understanding purposes? Behalf of your query i just giving you some suggestions as my point of view reg that surface direction, 

1) Try to edit the surface grid's (U & V) direction to 0 deg to 180 deg. 

or else

2)If its not worked out try to edit the type parameters / create the family parameters for that particular surfaces. 

 

For clear understanding view the screenshot. ThanksCapture.PNG

Thank you for the reply. The problem is occurring between two families I have created.  I created this "frame" to act like a framing system for a glass structure.  The problem is when I try to apply the "frame" to the surface I created the frame is inside out. I would like for the structure to be on the inside of the surface, but currently it will only be on the outside.

Try creating form/surface with splines drawn in opposite direction.

Why not flip the Pattern component?
