-Rules for drawing edges:

Draw a  closed group of edges to create a surface. Edges snap to endpoints (marked by a green dot.)

All edges must be in the same plane and automatically line up with one of the red, blue or green  axis lines.

Watch the axis lines and use inferring to line up edges using endpoints and midpoints.

Only draw to and from edges- don't draw an edge over another edge.
