Tips : Collapse the stack of modifiers objects first before using this scripts
install :
Download then unpack the rar-files
1. for .mcr file :
- Copy "BGtools_Unify_Flip_normal_polygon.mcr" into your "/ui/usermacros" folder.
ie: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\2009 - 32bit\enu\UI\usermacros\
- Restart Max and you will find it under
- Customize >> CustomizeUserinterface, Category 'BG tools'.
- Or go to MAXScript>>Run Script... and select the
"BGtools_Unify_Flip_normal_polygon.mcr" file,then find it under
Customize>>CustomizeUserinterface, Category 'BG tools'
- Click 'Make unify or flip normal...' and then Assign into
keyboard, toolbars, Quads or menus.The button name is 'Face normal'
2. for .mse file :
- Put 'BG-Unify_Flip_normal.mse' into "scripts/BG_Script" folder

Hi MrTynerI can't guarantee
Hi MrTyner
I can't guarantee if some user call this script to complex mesh or million mesh/object with one click,
some reason :
- outcomes of imported objects sometimes do not produce a good mesh, polygon sometimes broken or messy vertex, so
if after import using this script sometimes does not run correctly.
then sometimes we must check first few objects to find out what the problem on its mesh.
- Another reason the power of the cpu performance also affects to looping as I know.
you can call this script to selected object one by one or more to your mesh, or maybe by sections if you worries getting something error because this script.
Hi!
Your script worked better than anything I could find or write. I too am importing microstation models and still get the occasional normal flip.
I have a problem that I have MANY meshes. How can I call this script in a loop?
thanks!

hi titane, it's running in max 2012 and work correctly.
Can you tell me what steps do you make it error ?
to make sure :
object should be collapse/convert to editablemesh or editablepoly
or select editablemesh or editablepoly objects.
if some object have modifiers sometimes it's not work correctly.
