Issue

Sometimes, area takeoff gets drawn but does not fill the room, does not get drawn to the edge of the wall on a plan.

Area takeoff does not "fill" the room correctly

Net area not following bounding walls

Sometimes, missing a single corner vertex (joint) is all that went wrong, but still affects the takeoff object:

Missing points or incorrectly placed points can cause the takeoff object to measure the room inaccurately

Sometimes, a large section of a room may be missing:

This large section of a building was not taken off at all

Resolution

First, to correct takeoff that simply doesn't "fill" the space, use the Select Tool to select the area takeoff object and then drag its perimeter walls vertically or horizontally, or it's corner vertices diagonally, to adjust the takeoff object to match the plan.

On that angled wall where the bump-out was not taken off correctly, you'll need to add a couple of "vertices" so you can move the points and associated segments to match the takeoff.

On that large section that wasn't taken off at all, you have a couple of options:

1. Manually takeoff that region of the room/building using the Net Area Condition Takeoff Boost created
2. Add vertices and adjust the shape of the existing net area takeoff object (this could be very difficult because of the number of vertices/segments involved)
3. Delete the takeoff object and re-draw it manually
