# Draw and edit

Every tool you draw with — lines, walls, rooms, openings, dimensions and how drawings are organised.

The core of Synaps. Start with drawing basics if you are new; otherwise go straight to the tool you need.

## Correct and adjust

* [Select, move and duplicate shapes](/drafting/select-move-and-duplicate-shapes.md) — reposition a wall, make a copy or undo a change.
* [Rotate, resize and modify geometry](/drafting/rotate-resize-and-modify-geometry.md) — rotate, scale, mirror, offset, trim and extend.

New to drawing? Start with [Create your first drawing](/get-started/create-your-first-drawing.md).
