• If th top constaint should be connected to a required height or provided level height
• These can be adjusted by property browser

Observation:

a) Based on your observation, connecting walls with associated levels is benifical rather than being Unconnected

b)For modelling walls height option is more convenient than depth.

3) Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelled 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

Aim & Introduction: To create a copy of ground floor element to first floor by using copy copy and past option.
