There are a few rules regarding drawing Typical Group Frames.

Overlapping Frames

Overlapping one or more Typical Group Frames is not recommended. Although it is technically possible to overlap Typical Group Frames, doing so causes unpredictable calculation results. Make your life simpler, do not overlap Typical Group Frames

Takeoff Objects Intersected by a Typical Group Frame

If a Typical Group Frame partially includes takeoff objects, a warning banner displays and any takeoff touching the Typical Frame Marker is included in the Typical Group.

Linear and Area Takeoff

Linear and Area objects that touch or are completely inside the Typical Group Frame are considered part of the Typical Group.

Takeoff intersecting a Typical Group Frame's border

Count and Attachment Objects

If the center point of a Count object or an Area Attachment object is inside the Typical Group Frame, the object is included in the Typical Group.

Example of a Count object included in a Typical Group Frame.

Count objects are included in a typical group if the centerpoint of the Count object is within the typical group frame

This example shows the same item outside the Typical Group Frame, notice the Condition Quantity.

Count objects are not included in a typical group if the centerpoint of the Count object is outside the typical group frame

For Linear Attachments, if the center point of the actual object is within the Typical Group, the object is considered included. For something like a door, this doesn't include the 'sweep indicator' - only the actual opening:

Linear Attachment objects are included in a typical group if more than 50% of the opening is within the typical group frame
Example of a door included in a Typical Group (50% or more of the opening is within the Typical Group Frame).

Another example...

Linear Attachment objects are not included in a typical group if less than 50% of the opening is outside the typical group frame
And the same takeoff object moved slightly outside of the Typical Group Frame (less than 50% of the opening is within the Typical Group Frame).
