Hi there,

I am building a metal wristwatch band out of imported CAD geometry using the chain SOP and ran into a problem:

The chain SOP seems to change the vertex normals of the geometry of the pieces, making the uniformly soft.
Fixing them after the chain SOP would be very time-consuming.
Am I missing something?
