  • Fixed export of materials from hosted wall sweep.
  • Fixed export of material layer parameters of a ceiling element.

  • Fixed export of some assemblies to IFC that resulted in orphaned entities.
  • Fixed export of stairs layer name.
  • Fixed IfcExportType for ceilings.
  • Fixed IFC Classification export.
  • Fixed IFCMEASUREWITHUNIT.

  • Fixed processing of IFCPostalAddress with empty AddressLine.
  • Fixed the calculation of the height parameter for some railings in metric projects when a previous value had been calculated that wasn't applicable to this railing.
  • Fixed the issue when IfcCovering sill's body was exported as Brep instead of SweptSolid.
  • Fixed the processing of openings when exporting a wall as shape aspects (components).
  • Fixed the slope common property set parameter calculation when exporting some stringers to IFC.
  • Fixed Revit Data types export.
  • Removed the use of several Revit built-in parameters when exporting IFC properties that have the same name but are different.
A number of improvements and optimizations have been made to the export of properties.
After which type properties are not exported in case they are not specified in the user-defined property sets file.

Since 23.3.0, to export type properties for the IFCElement, for example, 
a user should include "IFCElementType" in the proper .txt file.

In the following case only instance properties from "testPset" will be exported
"PropertySet: testPset T IfcElement" 

In order for the type properties to be exported, the type entity should be specified IFCElementType as follows:
"PropertySet: testPset T IfcElement, IfcElementType"
