Continue to select faces to be sectioned as required.

When you have finished selecting, press Apply in the Display Curves dialog. The sections remain displayed on the selected faces.

The display curves are highlighted when the cursor hovers over the sectioned faces.

Display curves are used only for display purposes. You can create actual curves from display curves by using the function Curves > From Face.
