Include wall

This option instructs Plumbing Copilot to incorporate nearby wall elements into the path planning process when necessary. Enabling this feature allows Plumbing Copilot to use walls 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 walls 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 walls.
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 Wall" option has no effect. The path will be planned based on terminal routing elements.
