Comments

The first syntax of this operator may be used to define fold lines (their sense is important for the fold definition. See Airbag Folder Theoretical Manual). The second syntax may be useful when a given surface of a model has been identified as oriented in a wrong sense. In that case, the whole model should be reversed and then the ORIENT Instruction should be applied.
