Dear. Freesurfer experts.

Hi. How are you?

I'm trying to flatten the visual cortex using the command mris_flatten (freesurfer version 5.3.0).

The command line is:
mris_flatten -w 0 -distances 12 7 $SUBJECTS_DIR/$SUBJECT/surf/lh.oc.patch.3d $SUBJECTS_DIR/$SUBJECT/surf/lh.oc.patch.flat

The error I get is:
using write iterations = 0
sampling 7 neighbors out to a distance of 12 mm
reading patch /home/jbang/Projects/replay/mri//replay06/surf/rh.oc.patch.3d with 27964 vertices (19.0% of total)
MRISreadPatch: bad vertex # (147220) found in patch file
No such file or directory

Previously, Bruce advised me to recut it, so I deleted the lh.oc.patch.3d and recut it. However, freesurfer gives me the same error message...

Could you please help me fix it?

Thank you so much.

Best,

Ji Won
