 ### MoveVertices
 
 This sub-command enables users to move any vertices of the `ForceDiagram`. This is a 2-dimensional transformation on the XY plane. The transformation can be unconstrained ("free"), or constrained to: either the X or Y axis, or the XY plane.

-## Sub functions&#x20;
+## Sub-commands&#x20;
 
-### Dropdowns
+The following sub-commands are built into `RV_form_modify` to enable geometric modifications to the `ForceDiagram`.&#x20;
 
+### Dropdowns
 
+This sub-command allows users to create new dropdown supports. This will move the vertices to z=0, and convert it to a support. `RV_tna_vertical` will need to be recomputed to obtain the updated `ThrustDiagram`.
 
 ### Supports
 
-
+Not implemented.
 
 ### Loads
 
-
+This sub-command allows users to impose additional point loads to the selected vertices, by modifying the value for `pz`. The user can also modify the thickness `t` for the vertex, thereby changing the self-weight at that vertex.
 
 ### Openings
 
-
+Not implemented.
 
 ### EdgeConstraints
 
+The following edge attributes of the `FormDiagram` can be modified.
 
+* **hmax** - This is the upper limit of the allowable internal horizontal force of the edge. This value is set to 10000000.0 by default.
+* **hmin** - This is the lower limit of the allowable internal horizontal force of the edge. This value is set to 0 by default.
+* **lmax** - This is the upper limit of the allowable length of the edge. This value is set to 10000000.0 by default.
+* **lmin** - This is the lower limit of the allowable length of the edge. This value is set to 0 by default.
 
 ### ForceDensities
