AIM:To create walls using project browser

PROCEDURE:

1. Based on my observation "Top constraint" in properties panel is important for connecting walls with associated levels as change in levels also helps in changing the height of the walls ,thus reducing the steps to change it individually
2. Bothe the methods are convinients ,but i prefer change in heights as it does not disturbs the base level
