Now I need to put tiles on wall surface. height of wall is 2100

How can I do this.

You have so many options available.

Model the tiles separately - will probably give you the best control.
You could use a tile object if you have one, or use walls, beams, columns or tall thin slabs.
If you use walls, just be careful of the reference lines as they will trim with other walls if they touch (tip place them in their own layer with an intersection priority number that is different to the main wall layer.
You can schedule separate elements easily.

Or you can stack walls on top of each other - one for each tile type.
Not good because you have multiple walls which makes placing doors and windows a bit tricky.
Again easy to schedule.

Or you can create a complex profile wall with the finishes you want (one single wall).
Problem is the finishes will be fixed heights - unless you use 'Modifiers' and then the heights can be adjustable.
I think you will need to uses a 'Surface' schedule to get areas.
