Include plumbing chase

This option instructs Plumbing Copilot to incorporate nearby plumbing chases into the path planning process when necessary. Enabling this feature allows Plumbing Copilot to use plumbing chases as guiding elements to navigate between the start and end routing elements.
When Enabled: If the start element, such as a sink is located in a bathroom, and the end element, such as a pipe, is located in the ceiling void above, enabling this option instructs Plumbing Copilot to use the nearby plumbing chase to guide the routing path. This ensures a more realistic path from the room to the ceiling void.
When Disabled: If this option is unchecked, the path will be planned directly from the room to the ceiling void above, bypassing the plumbing chase.
No Effect Case: If both the start and end elements are located within the same routing element (e.g., both within the same ceiling void) or in adjacent routing elements (e.g., in a room next to a plumbing chase or a wall), then enabling the "Include plumbing chase" option has no effect. The path will be planned based on terminal routing elements.
IIf the Include Plumbing Chase checkbox is checked, ensure that the Include Wall checkbox is unchecked. If both are enabled, the wall will take precedence over the plumbing chase, and Plumbing Copilot will prioritize the wall when planning the route.
