Edited wall as shown below
Set the Base constraint and Base Offset to start the wall
Set the height of the wall by entering the value in the Top Constraint
a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
Benefits for connecting walls with associated levels.
No chance to create duplications
The wall connection will be perfect
Not cross one object to another object
when we open the elevation the level and joints of the wall will show the Error
Sometimes it is difficult to create levels
Unconnected levels:
It creates the wall height as per the given dimensions
It helps to adjust the height of the wall
b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?
For Creating the Walls above the Datum line it helps Height option
When creating the walls below the datum line, need to enter negative values
The height option is convenient for modeling walls.
RESULT:
Created the wall material and thickness of the walls by invoking the properties tab.
3) 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
AIM:
To create the First Floor by coping the Ground floor.
PROCEDURE:
set the view into the ground floor layout
select the floor layout
