# Adding a Slab Edge to a Drawing

You can use the **Slab Edge** shape to create structures that have multiple sides, each side being the boundary for the Slab.

To create a Slab Edge:

1. Click the **Structure** tab in the *Handset Designer* pane.
2. Click the **Slab Edge** shape and drag and drop onto your drawing.

You can add multiple Slab Edges to the Drawing page and connect them together to form a complete Slab. To do so:

1. Click and drag a **Slab Edge** shape and connect to another **Slab Edge** shape at the green connection point.
2. Click and drag the handle of the **Slab Edge** shape to adjust it to the desired length and position. (Refer to [*Adding a Dimension to a Slab Edge*](/v1/docs/adding-a-dimension-to-a-slab-edge) and [*Adding a Guide to a Slab Edge*](/v1/docs/adding-a-guide-to-a-slab-edge) to use these tools to help you form your Slab shape.)

3. Connect more **Slab Edges** to form a complete Slab shape.
