By joining line segments, you can create regions and polylines. The lines that make up these objects have nodes at their endpoints. You change the shape of regions and polylines by moving, adding, or deleting these nodes. You can select as many object nodes as you want, however, the nodes must be contiguous and belong to the same region or replace.
