Reverse Faces with keyboard

SketchUp Pro
1

I’m used to right-click on a surface in order to reverse faces.
Typing “R” after right-click used to do the job but since the latest version I have to click on “reverse faces”.
I think I need to change the settings but haven’t got a clue where.

Keyboard Shortcuts under preferences… personally I use “ALT-F” for flip faces

You must have altered the shortcut to [R] yourself because [R] is default for the ‘Rectangle’ tool.

Normally you right click on a (sur)face and select ‘Reverse’ in the context menu.

First step to help is to assign a shortcut key to the ‘Reverse’ operation (this could be [R] if you prefer). You then still have to preselect the (sur)face.

Second step to help is to preselect:

  • either the ‘Move’ tool. Now hover over the (sur)face and hit your [R] to reverse. Disadvantage is that the (sur)face gets unselected after the operation unless you slightly move the cursor.
  • or the ‘Push/Pull’ tool. Now hover over the (sur)face and hit your [R] to reverse. Advantage is that that (sur)face stays selected after the operation. You can easily hover over (sur)faces with the P/P tool to subsequently hit [R] to reverse a series of (sur)faces.
