## Reshape eraser tool

The reshape eraser tool is a feature in the geometry editor, designed to facilitate the removal of parts of a line or polygon geometry. This tool enables to efficiently correct paths or polygons directly within the application interface and directly from the field conditions.

Suppose you have a polygon representing a building footprint, but there's an unwanted protrusion. You can use the erase tool to precisely remove that portion of the polygon, ensuring accuracy in your geometry representation.

## Erase Tool Functionality

The erase tool is a new feature introduced in the geometry editor, designed to facilitate the removal of parts of a line or polygon geometry. This tool enables users to efficiently correct paths or polygons directly within the application interface and directly from the field.

Suppose you have a polygon representing a building footprint, but there's an unwanted protrusion. You can use the erase tool to precisely remove that portion of the polygon, ensuring accuracy in your geometry representation.

### How to Use

1. **Select the Erase Tool**: Locate the erase tool icon in the toolbar of the geometry editor.

2. **Choose Geometry to Erase**: Click on the line or polygon geometry that you want to edit using the erase tool.

3. **Erase Segments or Portions**:

- For lines: Click and drag along the segment(s) you wish to erase.
- For polygons: Click within the area you want to erase, and drag to define the portion to be removed.
4. **Confirm Erase Action**: Once you have selected the desired segments or portions to erase, release the mouse button to confirm the erase action.

5. **Finalize Changes**: Save your changes or continue editing as needed.
