Orientation check for Solids

It shall be noted that, if solids are not oriented properly than, we are not able to assign properties to the model, and it is difficult to see which the bod is solid.

    Thank you for posting your idea, although I am not clear exactly what check you think could be added. There are tools for solids in the Utilities ribbon, to check for incorrectly specified solid objects including

    1) Negative Volume or 2) Warped solids.

    I viewed your model and whilst incomplete, so i added supports, assigned thickness to the plates and the material to the soilds, the analysis operated ok. There was no issue with the solids:-
