[Bf-committers] Feature Request: Per-polygon properties

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Yep. vertices are ordered in the way a normal points. :)
Flipping normals in Blender means changing the order of vertices.

BTW: in many areas in Blender normals are stored on temporal bases, in  
editmode, in displaylists, while render, etc.
