When in UV view, place your pointer over the piece and press and hold the ‘f’ key on your keyboard. With this you will start to flatten the piece.

If you notice any light blue or red areas, don’t mind them, as they probably won’t be noticeable. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
