Issue

Sometimes, takeoff gets drawn within "out of scope" or "do not include" or "not in contract" regions of a plan.

Takeoff Boost errs on the side of caution and identifies all walls, even if they are just referencing something that existed before.

Takeoff Boost walls drawn on greyed-out reference lines
Walls drawn on reference lines

Takeoff Boost cannot know which side of the match line is valid so it takes off both.

Takeoff Boost walls drawn on both sides of matchline
Walls drawn on the "wrong" side of a match line

At this time, Takeoff Boost does not identify regions as being "out of scope" or 'not in contract", so it takes off everything on the Page.

Area Takeoff may also be drawn in "out of scope" regions of a plan.

Resolution

The resolution is delete whatever takeoff objects you don't need. See Related Articles for details on selecting and deleting takeoff objects.

You may need to "split" one or more takeoff objects in two to account for takeoff drawn past an "out of scope" delineator, we cover that in Related Articles also.
