Element normal
Need some information regarding element normal.
As per my knowledge element normal represents the positive side of shell elements but when I display both color as well as vector display opposite nature observed. Element normal representing negative side(i.e. red)
I defined thickness in negative direction(i.e. SNEG) and it is offsetting the elements outwards that means HM is following color display convention. Is it HM bug or something I am missing?

Thank you for update.
If red is positive (which means vector representing face is positive) then why upon defining SNEG in property element thickness offset in outward/positive direction? Refer picture shared earlier
Any update pls?
Hi @sumitbabbar427,
the explanation offered by @Prakash Pagadala is consistent with the screenshots you presented.
How about just reversing the normals?
Hi @sumitbabbar427
In HM RED represents Positive.
