new user, coming from RhinoCAD 5....in Rhino, surface normals and inside/outside of a surface can be displayed by different colors and little arrows that display the overall normal direction of the surface when you click on it. It also allows you to flip the direction.

Is there a similar setting/functionality in SolidWorks 2012 that can be used to check surfaces or solid model outer surfaces for normal direction and change the direction?
Thanks
