of sense..<br>

i used to use lightwave that was very picky about winding order..
blender spoils us! would be good to continue the good work.<br>

In most case modelers work on the 'outside' of the model. This
is not always true, but for the majority of cases it is and so
using the user as the determining direction should work well.</div>

Recently on blender.stackexchange a user asked about the
flipping<br>
direction for newly created faces,<br>
<br>
Currently face creation will check the direction of
connected faces<br>
and use this as a bases, normally this is `good enough`, but
in the<br>
case that there is no connected geometry you may as well
flip a coin.<br>
<br>
I realize this isn't such high priority but we may as well
not give a<br>
random result to users.<br>
<br>
There were 2 suggestions for now to choose when no connected
geometry is found.<br>
- Create faces using the order the winding order that the<br>
vertices/edges are selected.<br>
- Create faces pointing towards the user.<br>
<br>
Any opinions on which is best? (or other ways to choose).<br>
<br>
In case you want to read the original question;<br>
