3D Powerpack: Create Surface from Curves… kills class assignment

As the subj line indicates…Perhaps I'm missing something?

The attached movie clarifies

My understanding with newly created objects (which I think Vectorworks thinks this is) is that objects will be created using the active class. I have found this frustrating in the past as it seems a little unintuitive in this case. This is definitely an inconsistency as converting to a Nurbs Surface seems to keep the class in place.

 

There is another anomaly which I think is more frustrating in that Extrudes are created using the active class, but the underlying 2D geometry remains in the class it was created with. I am not sure i have found a use for that functionality and certainly adds another layer of complexity. This has caused all sorts of problems with Auto Hybrids and Section Viewports in the past although I am used to it now so don't see the problems as I once did.
