Hi,
When I am using polyextrude node with negative value distance the mesh result turns blue. I understand that is because normals are reversed. How can I fix or reverse the normals to get my mesh back to grey - with normals in correct direction?
I tried Normal node, with reverse option, but it didn't work.
thx

unfortunately if you extrude part of a geometry you have to group the reversed geo before using a revers sop. Wouldn't it make sense for the poly extrude sop to have an option to revers normals on extruded geometry?

it would and you can submit RFE for that
but for now if you know which prims you want to extrude in negative direction, just reverse them first and then extrude in positive instead

so no need to group after extrude, even though that's possible too as extrude outputs various groupd
