Odd Non-Planar(?) Face

[jamesx03]

Are these:

called Non-Planar faces? How do you fix them? When modelling with quads, this seems to happen a lot, especially with proportional editing on. When a solidify modifier is used, it draws a weird border around the quad. Why is that? How do you detect these in blender?

you can’t fix them except by converting them to triangles. otherwise just try to avoid them by placing your edge loops carefully.

Thanks! I see that flatten faces tool, and it might work, but how do you convert to triangles? Is it a modifier or something?
