RESULT: the boundary walls are modified and top and bottom constraints are verified.
2a) Benifits of connecting walls is that when walls are connected with constraints any changes in height of the building,the walls automatically adjusts its height with the levels,whereas in unconnected we have to edit the height of walls manually which takes lots of time and even errors may occur.
2b) acoording to me by height is convient rather than depth because it can help the project to complete in a proper way.
