The Match Lines feature is used to place custom detection boundaries for processing areas in AI-Setup mode. It is set in order to know where one plan is ended, and another is started when two joint plans are drawn with some overlapping space.
In Workpack, Match Lines are used as closing lines for the detection area. Rooms as Walls will be cut by this line.
- Compare detection without and with Match Lines set:

For Rooms cut by Match Lines, perimeter will be calculated not accounting the side created by a Match Line
