2) Add walls based on the floor layout. Pick lines or use the draw tool to modify the boundary of walls. Use the property browser to select appropriate material and thickness for walls. After creating the walls verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained.

Aim: After created the partition walls and verfiy the tob and bottom of the walls are constrained.

3. draw the wall as required to the room dimensions for bed room,kitchen,rest room,dinning hall.
4. click 3d view

In the above picture, you can see all walls are constrained in the same level.

a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected

when walls are connected with the constrains any changes in the height of the bulding in any view the walls automatically adjusts its height with the buliding levels and wherever if walls are unconnected then we have to edit the heights of the walls manually which will take lots of time and chances of errors.

b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?

The best way to model walls is by height rather than by depth.

3) Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelseleled to Ground Floor Level and paste it aligned to First Floor Level . Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align
elements to a different level
