Flip Normal of Planar Surface

[Staszkinson]

Hello,
Is it possible to flip normal of Planar Surface in SolidWorks?

 

[TheTick]

No. That would be entirely too useful.

About the only way I've found to have some control over a plane normal is to define it with a sketch, constraining the plane by point and normal to a curve.

How is it possible that SolidWorks can't flip shell normal surface. It's ridiculous.

Maybe I should rotate my Planar Surface by 180°?

Is this what you're looking for?

Not exactly. I though about simple button or function to change normal of planar surface.

Anyway, thank you for help.

If you select a plane and select "normal to" it will flip the screen so you are looking normal to that plane... if you click the same command again it flips 180 degrees.
