Re: Curves workbench
The tool only works on Part.Cone and Part.Cylinder surfaces.
Re: Curves workbench
I have updated ReflectLines tool.
It now has a "TrackCamera" View property that recomputes on every camera move.
This offers a kind of outline view mode, but it may not be smooth on slower computers.

Re: Curves workbench
I'm using the Flatten Face tool and sometimes it ignores some edges without warning. In the example file flattening 'Face4' with 4 edges results in an open 2 edged shape. I tried to locate and fix by myself in the python script but it seems to originate deeper. Out of reach for me. I suspect Open Cascade but I'm not sure. I can workaround this using Mesh workbench but it's not that convenient.

I have pushed a fix so that it now returns a compound of edges in such situation (that's better than an broken face).
Re: Curves workbench
As it is a Coin3d setting it have to be in View Tab, as in data there are usually things managed by OCCT and FC as 3d engine.
This separation between "3d geometric engine" and "3d view" (Coin3d) thing could not be so clear, but I think IMHO that is one if "basilar thing of FC" sometimes it appear as "hidden in plain sight".
