Normal vector will be inverted

[[SH...]]

I got a warning like this, while I extracting a feature from cad model. First time I witnessing like this. I don't know what mistake I made. Any explanation??

I usually see this when extracting features from a section model. Just click ok, and the reverse the vector in the feature.

My model is a full model, may I know what you mean by section model??

Repairing model in calypso worked for me. Some surfaces seems to be outwards than calypso thinks ( it's outer but calypso thinks it's inner ).

Say you want to extract a circle inside a deep bore. You use the CAD > View > Clipping
Plane to section the part so you can see what/were your extracting.

I find this a lot on models I get. What I figure is that when you pick a surface Calypso thinks your picking the back side and inverts it for you. How I came to this conclusion was in drawing lines. Calypso would think I want the line on the other side and no warning. But in that scenario it would not flip it and the probe would crash into the part trying to measure the line on the back side of the plane. It doesn't happen a lot but we have one client whose models are notorious for this. Once this message pops up I have to rotate all my lines 180 to get them facing correctly to the probes travel.
