Hi Alex, Boy, I haven't done this myself. I watched David do this for Dr. Dickman once, if I recall correctly, and it was more involved than I would have anticipated.
Have you tried using Surface: Flatten full or partial hemisphere: Partial Hemisphere (Fiducial)? I'm not sure it would work, but it is what I would try.
