Hello all
In the following picture I graph the normal but it is going on the opposite direction I expected.
How can I place first a point on the selected face if it is curved? or how can I make a normal to outside of the body like the red arrow.
I attach the part file

It is more convenient if you upload the FreeCAD file and not a step.
The curved surface follows an arc, so it's easy. In the attached example I created a sketch and created a line normal to the surface.
