Here are ways to manipulate a shape’s editing points:
To add a point, make the shape editable, press the Option key, and then hold the

m

pointer over the shape’s border. The pointer changes into a pen tip with a plus sign (+).
Click the location on the border where you want to add a point, and then move the
point if needed.
To move a point, make the shape editable, click the point, and then drag it to another

m

location. You can move several points at the same time by holding down the Shift key
as you click multiple points, and then dragging.
To delete a point, make the shape editable, click the point, and then press the Delete

m

key. You can delete several points at the same time by holding down the Shift key as
you click multiple points, and then pressing Delete.
