Hi Julia,
During the flattening process, the medial wall border is normally
drawn on the Compressed Medial Wall Surface. The CMW surface is a
sphere with the medial portion made flat so that 2D borders can be
drawn on it. This surface should be selected from the model
selection control in the main window's toolbar.
The "Smooth Fiducial Medial Wall" option results in the fiducial
surface's medial wall being smoothed during the flattening process.
Smoothing will change the shape of the medial wall so that it is
relatively flat. This option does not affect the sphere. There is
normally some distortion around on the sphere that should be removed
by the morphing process that is part of flattening.

I'm attempting to go through Caret's spherical registration stuff
but first I need to work out how to draw all the borders. I'm
following the 5.5 tutorial and I'm stuck trying to draw the medial
wall borders. When I open the draw borders dialogue, choose the
border name, set type to closed and dimension to 2D, and press
apply, I can't draw the border. I click on the sphere and hold the
left mouse button and nothing is drawn. Any ideas on what's going
on? I checked the D/C to see if "show borders" was selected and it
is. I've drawn borders in the past with no trouble, so I'm not
sure what's happening here.
Also, what does it mean in the "Flatten Full or Partial Hemisphere"
box when it says "Smooth Fiducial Medial Wall". It looks like this
smoothing is causing distortions in the sphere. It makes the
sphere look sort of swirly around the medial wall area.
