Change shape in footprint editor - PCB Editor 16.2

I have a shape, say a rectangular top silkscreen in footprint editor. How do I change its shape/size? I can delete it and create a new one, but not able to click and drag to change its shape and size. Anyone can help on this?

    Shape -> select shape or void

    - moving the mouse to border or vertex you can resize

    - right click delete will erase it

     You can also use Shape > Edit Boundary to add to or remove from a shape by drawing a path. Very handy.
