Edit Openings
=============

1. Select the opening you want to edit and click **Edit** in the floating window to enter the editing interface.

* You can only edit one opening at a time to ensure the opening is unique.

2. In the top toolbar, you can choose different tools to edit the opening contour.

* When selecting the **Split** tool, the original contour line can be divided into multiple segments, making it easier to adjust the shape as needed.

* When selecting the **Merge** tool, the segmented contour lines can be merged back into one piece, facilitating overall movement and size adjustments.

* When selecting the**Align**tool, contour lines not on the same horizontal plane can be quickly aligned to the same straight line.

2. While editing already drawn openings, keep the closed contour unique.

3. During alignment operations, choose the reference position first, then select the line segment to move.
