Hi Martin, the orientation shouldn't matter as long as the normals filter can orient the normals outwards automatically, which is trivial for a closed surface but might be not trivial for a complex one (or downright impossible, but it shouldn't be your case).
Try to run vmtksurfacenormals and see what comes out of that with Paraview (using the Glyph filter to visualize normals). The normals should be all outwards, if they're not then maybe that's the issue.
