-'''Move nodes that all angles are 90 or 180 degrees.'''
+**Move nodes that all angles are 90 or 180 degrees.**
+
+With one or more ways selected, the form will be modified so that all angles will be 90 or 180 degrees.
+
+[[JOSMImage(misc/error,24,middle,link=,margin-right=5,margin-bottom=5)]] **Be careful when using this feature e.g. on buildings. A lot of buildings are indeed not orthogonal in reality.**
+
+
+== Simple use case ==
+Select each way separately or several ways together and hit `Q`. This will orthogonalize each single way on its own. Ways with minimum two sharing nodes which are selected together will be orthogonalized together, too.
+
+[[Image(q-simple.gif,link=)]]
+
+
+== Using two nodes for alignment ==
+You can select two additional nodes. Then segments will be aligned in accordance with these nodes.

+
+
+== Complex buildings == 
+* temporarily split buildings with `P` [wikitr:/Help/Action/SplitWay Split Way]
+* orthogonalize portions of a building as usual
+* reconnect parts back with `C` [wikitr:/Help/Action/CombineWay Combine Ways]
+
+[[Image(split-q-then-combine.gif,link=)]]
+
+To orthogonalize a part of a building without splitting it, simply select the wanted nodes. Note that the selection order of the nodes does matter here, so selecting e.g. via rectangle will usually not work.
+
+[[Image(q-partial-without-split.gif,link=)]]
+
+
+== Undo moves of selected nodes ==#Undomovesofselectednodes
+Select nodes you want to undo, then press `Shift+Q` and selected nodes will be placed back to origin.
