- press the second button and define the area by creating a rectangle that will be exactly parallel to the given strip orientation.
Select the first point and drag the mouse while the left mouse button is pressed to define the rectangle.

Clearing
To recreate the strip orientation or coverage area use the next buttons to delete
It is especially important to remove all areas when re-creating the area to fly. Having multiple areas will lead problems because they will all be used. When areas overlap, they effectively create gaps.
