### Adjusting shape of room

When creating a room in the plans task, there are a variety of different handles you can use to accurately adjust the shape of a room:

Click on the pink corner handles to switch between a square and circle handle:

- Use the **square corner handles** to resize the room whilst keeping the adjacent walls at the **same angle**.
- Use the **circle corner handles** to move that point **independently** of the other points to create angled walls.

Use the rectangular handle to resize the room. Click on the **pink rectangular handles** to toggle between a square and curved cornered handles:

- Use the **square cornered handle** to extend a wall out.
- Use the **curved cornered handle** to extend the adjoining wall independently of the others.
