The grid echo can generate a flat quadrangular paneling solution for the inner echoed zone (acting as a panel). The flattening algorithm will modify the chosen point of each panel according to the selection. The points are numbered according to the nodal notation layout where point 1 is the first point on the first profile, point 2 is the first point on the second profile, point 3 is the second point on the first profile and point 4 is the second point on the second profile.

When choosing the By Matrix method, the flattening point is defined according to values specified in the Cellular Matrix Layout panel.

Example: Flattening by Point-4 (Echo distance set to zero) and flattening by matrix:

The Flattening algorithm creates a flat parallelogram shape.
