Description : Allows the user to do two things: 1) Lay an arbitrarily-oriented face or collection of coplanar faces flat on the ground. Use in combination with a manual unfold tool to flatten shapes first. 2) Unwrap non-coplanar faces uaing an automatic (random) algorithm and then lay the resulting set of faces flat on the ground. This helps in producing cutouts, as CNC-prep, for texturing, etc.
