to view the face normals select the mesh then under Display/polygon components click normals
this will give you a line coming out each polygon they need to face out like this cube
to flip/Reverse them in maya7 its edit polygons/Normals/Reverse how you do this is
right click the model pic Face shift+click all the faces to Reverse and then click Reverse
To fined out before you export if your mesh is ok select the model then in window/Attribute editor
tab number 2 "Mesh Component Desplay" Backface culling turn that to wire that will show you the faces to fix
