Reverse complex geometry into elements

currently creating complex geometry is irreversible and extremely difficult to edit. neither on-screen nor table edit work well to modify complex geometry, especially removal of PI with curve sets. Also, delete element from complex is not unattain...

Open profile from profile view

While I am in a profile view, I would like to be able to open a new profile from a different horizontal without having to activate the 2D view. It is a small thing but would be nice.
