Hello,

A few quick questions about Make Live and Curves drawn on Live Objects.

Curves drawn on Live Object does not show up in Outliner? And the only way to select them is via the viewport? It's axis are locked onto the Live object even after Live has been turned off, is there no way to duplicate these curves into normal curves that you can edit and move as with normal curves?

Thanks in advance.

OK, duplicated with duplicate surface curves.

So curves drawn on Live Objects are stored as Curve-On-Surface, why is that? What is the purpose of this and it's application?

Mostly so you can keep those curves attached to the surface... for things like hair, paths that need to follow moving surfaces etc.
