 * The required orientation of a set of neighboring faces can be defined by a vector giving the direction of a normal to a certain face. Since the direction of face normals in the set can be even opposite, it is necessary to specify a *control* face, the normal to which will be compared with the vector. This face can be either:
 	* found by proximity to a given point, or 
 	* specified explicitly. 
+* The required orientation is given by faces of specified reference groups or/and sub-meshes. The reference groups can be omitted, then orientation of an arbitrary selected face to orient defines common orientation.
 * Alternatively, the faces can be oriented relatively to the adjacent volumes.
 	
 The orientation of a face is changed by reverting the order of its nodes.
