My instinct when drawing is to define an area with lines drawn exactly defining the area, each line starting at the same point as the last line ends. So I split my wall lines at the points where I want the area border to join the wall, and drawn border lines between points on the walls. This looks neater to me. But I realise that this is not required because you can just overlap the border lines across the walls to define the area, and any fill will be clipped by the walls anyway. So what I am wondering is are there any advantages to one method over the other? See the attached bitmap illustrating areas defined in the two different ways I just described. (Left side shows overlapped lines not joined at points. Right side shows neater area defined exactly by bounding lines.)
