If I draw any vertical elements (Column or Wall) from Ground to roof regardless of number of floors (in between) so long as cross sections & properties are the same in each floor, is there any problem that may occur later?

I appreciate if anybody can advise please.

We usually like to model it like we want to build it.  So exterior walls usually are full height but interior walls are hosted on their own levels and may only go up to the bottom of the floor above. 

Walls that are the same location on each level are easy to do.  Get one level right and include doors, then copy all to clipboard and paste aligned to selected levels.

Thank you for your advise.

Anyway, that's what we usually do. However, my point is that if I draw it from the lowest floor to highest floor where

physical properties of "vertical element" is the same in each floor, is there any problem (later) when I export the file

in Robot or in other structural analysis software?

Again, anybody's advise will be appreciated.
