Flatten Ngons

Use the Flatten Ngons tool to flatten Ngons in a model that are not planar. Applying this command makes the selected mesh item a two dimensional form and produces smoother properties when rendered. For example, use this tool when you have a hard surface model that isn't subdivided.

Before - non planar mesh	After - planar mesh

Tip:  A n-gon is a polygon with n sides; for example, a triangle is a 3-gon.
