4. In continuity group.
Apply to all: applies the same continuity setting for first and last sections.
In first primary, last primary, first cross, last cross, you can select:
G0 (Position): position continuous tolerance, defaults to the distance.
G1 (Tangent): tangent continuous tolerance, defaults to the angle.
G2 (Curvature): Curvature continuous tolerance, defaults to 0.1 or 10 percent of the relative tolerance.
