Editing Geometry with WFS

We will use the Edit Geometry tool to move the road around the lake.

  • Zoom into the road that is crossing the lake in the center of the country

  • The road will change color and develop “vertex handles”.

  • Move the vertex handles so the road does not enter the water.

  • Add new vertices by switching to the Add Vertex tool.

  • You can click any where on the road to add a new vertex.
