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

### Modify anchoring
{% embed url="" %}
Modify wall anchoring
{% endembed %}
1. **Click a wall** to select it
2. Choose the wall anchor from the following 3 options:
1. **Inside side** : the wall thickens toward the outside of the room.
2. **Outside side** : the wall thickens toward the inside of the room.
3. **Symmetrical** : thickness is distributed on both sides.
{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the partition walls in Scan have the wall anchor on the inside side. You can therefore change their thickness without modifying the room area.
{% endhint %}
***
### Check the connection between walls
When a room is not recognized, it is generally because the wall junction between the walls is incorrect.
#### Some rooms are not recognised
{% embed url="" %}
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="" %}
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 %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.visuary.com/guide-visuary-en/the-plan/the-walls.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
