Wall on ground floor cutting sill on 2nd floor

I have up until now fixed this problem by cutting the wall below with a custom morph shape on an invisible layer, but it is a rather slow workaround. Would the prober and more efficient way of doing it just be drawing walls that span from the ground level to the crown of the wall.
Right now i draw the walls per story.

Any thoughts and best practices are very welcome.

Just a guess; maybe opening oversize lower?

A window and its associated hole can only belong to one wall.

So it is a case of Solid Element Operation as you suggest or place an empty opening in the wall below for the sill - either way you have two elements to adjust if the window changes.
Or use a single wall as you mentioned which means you only have to place the one window.
If the wall spans more than one storey you can make it display on the home storey only or all relevant storeys.
