RESULT :
The given challenge is completed by using the appropriate tool in the REVIT
a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
Ans :
Benefits of connecting walls is that when walls are connected with the constraints any changes in the height of the building in any view the walls are automatically adjusts its height with the levels and if the walls are unconnected we have to adjust the height of the wall manually which will take more time in completing the project and chances of error will be more.
b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?
Ans :
According to me the best way to model walls is height method than width method
