### Create a bar partition wall / a low wall

{% embed url="<https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZFcDkdPcFkKsLAju8DW3%2Fuploads%2FpcjzwWJ3luqKWWIGuDRn%2Fmuret.mp4?alt=media&token=5fa6bee7-f21b-44ec-b1f6-de8354f8191c>" %}

2. Search for "**bar partition wall**" or "**bench**": the bench offers more flexibility in terms of dimensions
3. Place the Object / Element on the plan; then you can resize it

{% hint style="warning" %}
These objects will not be considered walls in [**quantity takeoff**](/guide-visuary-en/data/the-quantity-takeoff.md)**.** \
\
You won't be able to add a covering to them. However, the "room wall tile" option can be applied to the bench in wet rooms. \

### Change wall anchor

{% embed url="<https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZFcDkdPcFkKsLAju8DW3%2Fuploads%2FJ8SfuUCKtRBGHlzqmcdy%2Fancrage_murs.mp4?alt=media&token=e09ce84b-7685-428d-888b-5a370170873f>" %}
Change wall anchors
{% endembed %}

1. **Click a wall** to select it
2. Choose the wall anchor from the 3 following options:
   1. **Interior side** : the wall thickens toward the outside of the room.
   2. **Exterior side** : the wall thickens toward the inside of the room.
   3. **Symmetrical** : the thickness is split on both sides.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the partition walls of the Scan have the wall anchor on the interior side. So you can change their thickness without changing the room area.
{% endhint %}

### Check the wall junction between walls

When a room is not recognized, it is usually because the wall junction between the walls is incorrect.

#### Some rooms are not recognised

{% embed url="<https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZFcDkdPcFkKsLAju8DW3%2Fuploads%2FjnEk5UMMRJmAFfNWQ0QY%2Fdetection_piece.mp4?alt=media&token=5afb2dd9-5b1a-4db1-9a5c-da62c785efc1>" %}
Some rooms on the floor plan are not recognised
{% endembed %}

If a room is cross-hatched, with no area displayed or ability to add elements:

1. Zoom in as much as possible on the floor plan and look at each wall corner to check the Wall junctions; sometimes the walls seem well connected, but that is not always the case.
2. **Adjust the wall positions** to correct their Wall junctions until the **room area is shown in white**, a sign that it is recognised again.

{% hint style="info" %}
The adjacent wall turns blue when the two walls are correctly connected at the Wall junction.
{% endhint %}

#### The room area seems incorrect or does not appear:

{% embed url="<https://files.gitbook.com/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZFcDkdPcFkKsLAju8DW3%2Fuploads%2FO4mdmopsnVWWPHK1HtK0%2F2pieces_en1.mp4?alt=media&token=5f9772f8-da05-4893-a3ae-d1700c739f05>" %}
The room area seems incorrect
{% endembed %}

If a room's area seems incorrect even though the room is correctly detected:

1. **Hover over the Zone with your mouse** to highlight it in grey and view the full Zone.
2. **Zoom in as much as possible** on the plan to adjust the position of the walls and **correct their Wall junctions**. The Zone will then be automatically split into two separate spaces.

{% hint style="info" %}
The adjacent wall turns blue when the two walls are correctly connected at the Wall junction.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.visuary.com/guide-visuary-en/floor-plan/walls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
