Step 1:Open Revit software

Step 2:Open new project

Step 3:Select architecture tab

Select wall

Draw the wall using line option

Step 4:Select wall

Select edit type in property browser

Select edit option

Edit material and thickness

Step 5:Select property brower

Check the top and bottom of wall is constrained

RESULT

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

If we connect the walls with associated levels, we can easily edit the wall height by changing the level height or any changes that made to level will also reflect on walls

Therefore editing is easy

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

If we select height wall is created above the level

If we select depth wall is created below the level

AIM

To copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modeled 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
