DREAM3D User Manual
Reverse Triangle Winding Filter

Group (Subgroup)

SurfaceMesh

Description

This filter reverses the winding on each triangle. If the next filter is to compute the surface normals the user will notice that the normals now point in the opposite direction. Some analysis filters require the normals to be pointing "away" from the center of a Field. The current surface meshing algorithms tend to orient the normals pointing "into" the Field.
