Aim: 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.

Tools used:

1. wall
2. properties browser

Procedure:

1. Select wall from architecture menu
2. from the properties browser change the wall the type as desired.

• from the properties browser look into the top constraint to verify if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained.

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

answer) When walls are being connected to the associated levels if the upper level is moved down or up in terms of height. The walls stay connected to the level and we need not change the heights of the walls or else they stay as the height mentioned and the level stays unconnected.

B) Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?

answer) In modeling walls, we can build walls with depth and height parameters. I would prefer doing it with heights because when we start the ground floor then continue with the first floor. Placing the walls with heights mentioned may make it easier.
