HI All,

So I have an issue, in where I'm trying to create a procedural base outline tool. To go with the Indie Pixel Base builder tutorials.

The Problem I'm having is that when i use the sort SOP, the extract silhouette every so-often flips the normal's, as seen in the pics.

I've tried the Normal's, Facet and poly frame SOP's and to no avail, the normals still swicth.

If the normals always have to point upwards, you can force them by setting them manually in an attribute wrangle.
With this little line of VEX:
@N = set(0, 1, 0);
That way, it doesn't matter whether they're flipped or not.
- A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men.
