I am trying to flatten a matrix from 3-dimensional to 2-dimensional one.



The original one has dimension for example {10,120,120}:



list1 = RandomReal[1, {10, 120, 120}];


I want to convert it to a new matrix with {10,120*120} dimension. I am using:



On["Packing"]  (*For checking if exist unpacked arrays *)  
Flatten[Map[Flatten, {list1}, {-3}], 1];


But this will generate unpacked array. How should I avoid this issue?

An alternative to using Flatten as in the comments is to use ArrayReshape. For large arrays, ArrayReshape should be significantly faster. For example:



list1 = RandomReal[1, {10, 1200, 1200}];


Comparison:



r1 = Flatten[list1, {{1}, {2, 3}}]; //RepeatedTiming
r2 = ArrayReshape[list1, {10, 1200 1200}]; //RepeatedTiming

r1 === r2



{0.120, Null}



{0.025, Null}



True
