ok.... i get the solution..

it is to easy , i have to reverse the direction of each serface its face is inboard, all surfaces should face the out board direction
it works correctly

Good on you, Hisham. That is the way to REALLY get to understand software - try something, have it fail, and then figure out how to get around any short-comings.
