What do the models look like in another 3D viewer which correctly renders
normals? It's hard to tell with 3DViewer because it looks to me like every
facet is rendered on both sides (but that may be correct - the surface
may have the 'solid' attribute). If a facet were rendered only on 1 side it
would be much easier to tell because the facet would be invisible from the
wrong side.
