New way with existing nodes.

0

So I already have an area that describes the extent of a site.

How do I select that area's nodes and create a fence/wall with them (a new way using the same nodes).

I can create a new way going through each node individually but it's slow.

This is easy in JOSM. Just start drawing a way using the first two nodes, then press f for follow line and it will automatically extent the way to the next node. Consecutively pressing f will extent the way further.
