What is the benefit of this enhancement?
You can now use the new Simplify command in Style to simplify curves that contain a large number of control points. This command is available in the Curve Edit dashboard.

With the Simplify command, you can reduce the number of selected points while maintaining minimal impact on the curve shape. Each simplify action removes one-third of the selected points. You can simplify only internal Style curves that are created as free, planar, or COS.

The Simplify command supports Undo and Redo, preserves symmetry, and does not affect soft points. Previously, simplifying curves with many control points while preserving the intended shape was difficult.

This enhancement improves the overall user experience when working with complex Style curves by making it easier to simplify them for desired modifications. It also helps resolve potential issues during the Generative Design reconstruction process.
