View in 3D
Here we can see the wall is constrained upto the second floor
Benefits of connecting walls is that when walls are connected with the constraints any changes in the height of the building in any view the walls automatically adjusts its height with the building levels and whereas if walls are unconnected then we have to edit the height of the walls manually which will take lots of time and chances of error will be more.
According to me the best way to model walls is by height rathen then depth
