Modifying 2D elements from quadratic to linear

Quadratic 2D elements (i.e. Tri6 and Quad8) can be converted to linear (i.e. Tri3 and Quad4, respectively) using the Sculpt > 2D element operations > Modify quadratic 2D to linear menu command. The procedure is as follows.

1. Set the cursor mode to Select elements.
2. Select the 2D elements that are to be converted.
3. Give the Modify quadratic 2D to linear command.
