I am unable to Complete my Fills

[Kendrick Granville]

I had assumed all my Quads were filled until we changed the viewing to solid and now i see many spots are actually empty. Some are filled others are not. When I went back in edit mode to select the vertices to fill, they won’t fill. I am at lost….when I Alt+F it’ll fill a corner of the quad but wont fill the whole Quad. Why is this?

Is it because I applied the modifier which i can’t undo now since i saved?

I’ve checked my auto saves and there wasn’t one prior I’m guessing…i thought i had incremental saves on but i guess I didn’t. I assume i will just have to do the circle grid part again.

@KreativeKendrick do you happen to have Backface Culling on? Maybe the Faces won’t fill, because they are already filled. In Edit Mode, select all and then SHIFT+N to make the Normals consistent.

Thank you!! How do you turn Backface culling on so i can know what to be wary of next time this occurs?

In the Shading dropdown:

My eyes just can’t adjust to Backface Culling. >.<

Is it possible to have the front and back of a plane to just be two different colors.

@wendy10698 yes you can. Go to your Preferences > Themes > 3DView and look for the Face Orientation Colors:

Change them to whatever you like. Then you can turn them on in the Viewport Overlays > Geometry > Face Orientation.
