This isn't automatic, but what if the program interrogates the user to pick
a side which is facing outward?  From that information, the program could
then mark-up all adjacent sides.  If the program ran out of sides, it could
re-interrogate for another side.

This wouldn't be a usuable approach for an on-the-fly rendering program,
but it would work for a utility which is fixing up parts in the library.



Doh, you posted mere minutes before me and said the same thing. :)
