Create Areas By Extrusion

Keyboard shortcut: X

Replaces the section of a Way between two nodes and replaces it with three line segments, one of which is parallel to the original, and two at right angles (which also requires two additional nodes).

Press the "Create Areas" mode button (or the X shortcut), then drag a line segment. It will move at right angles to its original position, connecting to it with two additional segments.

• If you start with just a single line segment, you will get a rectangle.
• If you start with an area, you will tack on a rectangular protrusion to the area.

Hold down the Alt key and drag a line segment to create a new rectangle and leave the original rectangle intact.

A double click at a line segment inserts a new point.
