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

Some rooms on the floor plan are not recognised

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.

The adjacent wall turns blue when the two walls are correctly connected at the Wall junction.

The room area seems incorrect or does not appear:
