I choose rays so that they may orient one face. With this face I use a
sort of flood-fill algorithm (please try to find on of my previuos
message) to orient al neighbors. Once a face is oriented, I don't look
at it anymore. But, your idea could make my code more robust. I'll think
about that!

I regenerate all the files that are used to make up the part I want to
orient. If one primitive is used twice with 2 different sides lit, I
have to produce 2 different files with inverted orientation.

GOOD POINT! You dicovered 2 bugs in my code!!!!! Ok now, one is
corrected but it'll take more time to correct the second one. Then I'll
post the results here...

To do that I have to check what's Sun offer. I can afford VisualJ++.
And event after I packaged it, it would be a rather big zip! Let me
take time to see if I can manage something correct...
