Surface normal not the same between geometry and meshed part

[lukerickert]

I have a strange issue. when I mesh a compound surface part, the face normal in the geometry window are all the same but the mesh comes back with them randomly in different defections?

Any ideas?

thanks

What do you get when you use the Geometry → CAD Part → Flip Face Normal tool in the Geometry tab ?

[lukerickert]

yes, that is exactly what I did

So the first image is after meshing and the second one is before meshing ? Can you share the file ?
