I think I found the solution. I suspect the problem is that border
files are not properly projected unless the loaded spec file already
contains one cut topology.
This is what happened:
1. I create a borders projection and borders color file prior to
starting the flattening. These files include all the cuts and the medial
wall border properly named. I load the spec file (cut topology not yet
included).
2. Before starting the flattening, I load the borders and select the
option "use currently loaded ellipsoidal borders".
3. At the first pause of the process, when CompMedWall is created, the
borders already look distorted.
4. I delete all the borders, and reload the borders I had created
before. I continue with the flattening.
5. A CUT topology file has been created. The ellipsoidal surface is not
cut correctly (as verified by momentarily changing its topology to CUT;
the cut topology is correctly assigned to the flat surface). The borders
are as distorted as at steps 3.
6. I continue until the end of the process and load the landmark
borders: they are a replica of the distorted borders at 3.
I reload the spec which now includes a cut topology, and repeat steps
1-6. A new cut topology is created (replaces the old one). The ellipsoid
is now cut correctly, as verified by setting the topology momentarily to
cut. The landmark borders are now correct.
Hope this helps,
Bruno
