Would it help to get primitive files cleaned up, and then make use of
what is known of the faces in the primitive to decide the orientation of
faces in the part?
What I mean is, if you follow a ray from the center of a face, and the
first/closest face hit by the ray is pointed toward the face, then that
would indicate that the face being tested should face toward the other
face.
Of course that presupposes the file being cleaned up has all the
inversion issues squared away. And some primitives would be no help,
like studs.
