Previously, visual cross-sections had to be promoted to geometry before curves could be fitted to them. Now, when clicking on a visual cross-section from within Curve Edit > Fit Curve, the following happens:
Degree 3 curves fitted to a visual Z cross-section on a mesh.
You can modify the inputs (degree, spans, and so on), just as with any other fitted curve.
If you click Reset after fitting a curve, the curve and the templated section data are both deleted.
If you exit the tool, the fitted curve has construction history linked to the section data. You can choose Query Edit, then select the curve to re-enter the Fit Curve tool as usual.
If the construction history is removed, the templated section data stays behind.
