RE: Curvature combs
Preferences -> Modeling -> Update
...and set 'Dynamic Update' to 'Continuous', THEN create any additional Section Curves as needed before going to...
Analysis -> Curve -> Curve Analysis...
...and selecting the edges and curves that you wish to see the Curvature Combs displayed on. Only then can you now go back and edit the existing X-Form feature, remembering that you can NOT use Edit With/Roolback but rather 'Edit Parameters' and as you now move the face polls you will see the 'combs' dynamically update as the shape of the face changes.

The Section analysis is not timestamped which means that you can add it to a body which already has an X-Form feature or similar. It will update in realtime whatever change you do.
You do probably need to play around with the needle scale to get the display that you desire.
Rmb-click the section analysis in the graphics window to edit / delete etc.
