Solid Inspector Reverse Faces Weirdness

[Chip_Cookie]

Dear All,

I have run into odd thing. I have this rail panel for my Library model:

I would like to use solid tools to alter its length. It seems like it would be simpler than intersect faces. However, when I use Solid Inspector^3 on the panel, I get this:

And after hitting “Fix All” I am told all is ‘shiny’ but the spiral is now inside-out.

Any ideas? Is there some small gremlin in the works that I am missing?

The panel model is attached.

Thank you all for your continued help.

The problem is that you have overlapping goemetry that is not connected and has faces running through faces. I woudl suggest making a copy of this geometry, selecting it all and running Intersect with Selection, then erase any extra lines and try Solid Inspector again.
