**Step 4:** When you’re done with the edit, click anywhere in the white space to exit edit mode.
**Step 5:** You're not limited to polygons—lines can be edited too. Click the line for the baseboard material in the upper restroom.

**Step 7:** Drag an edit point to the new location by selecting it and holding the left mouse button.
**Step 8:** For greater precision, double-click anywhere on the line to add a new edit point, giving you more control for fine-tuned adjustments.
