redrawing
Making new lines
Redrawing is the act of drawing something again, typically to revise or improve it: The architect is redrawing the plans to meet new requirements.
It extends to any reconfiguration of boundaries or divisions: redrawing electoral districts, redrawing the map of Europe after the war.
The word implies deliberate revision rather than starting from scratch.
