The Flatten Mapping method of procedural
mapping applies planar maps to g roups of
contiguous faces that fall within a specified angle
threshold. It prevents overlap of mapping clusters,
but can still cause texture distortion. The Flatten

Face Angle Threshold—The angle used to determine
theclusterstobemapped.
As the Flatten Map gathers faces to be mapped, it
uses this parameter to determine w hich faces get
put in a cluster. This is the maximum angle that
can exist between faces in a cluster.
