This is a problem with the model I'm pretty sure, but I can't figure out what is wrong that I'm getting this behavior. When I scale max frontal distance to fix the red areas the cage seems to invert on itself. Anyone see this before?
Hi Eric,
Glad you found a solution.
I could be wrong with this one, but from memory the auto cage orientation is set up with the normal orientation. Therefore, if normals are pointing in the "wrong" direction, the cage will follow them.
A subdivided model should smooth normals, that's why the cage orientation should be closer to what you want.

*I fixed this by adding geometry, but I still want to understand what caused this since I have other similar models that did not have this issue

What Cyril said beloew is what the problem was- I fixed it without understanding *why* it got fixed- it's the normals. I don't have a guide but there are many videos on fixing normals.

This was exactly the problem- thank you!
