RESULT:
a) Based on my opinion, if walls are connected to the asssociated levels then it will be beneficial for us, it saves us time when we have to change anything regarding to walls we can just change it for a single wall and it reflects on every other wall.
b) I think for me modelling walls by height has been convenient since it is more in check with the reality ( that's how we build walls in real, right!)
