Shear wall modeling: Which one is correct?

Shear wall modeling: Which one is correct?

Shear wall modeling: Which one is correct?

(OP)
I want to know if we model the wall between the columns, attached to them, should we delete the columns or not (I mean in reality are the columns exist in the system?) Some believe they can be exist and design them as a column but I cant accept this idea because I think the Connection between wall and column make them as a unique wall element. (in  Seismic Design Handbook by F. Naeim no column has been modeled.)I am mixed up and need help. thanks alot.
