Unified Namespace for BIM properties

From now on, you don't have to bother choosing the IFC version for the properties. Instead of 2 different Namespaces for IFC2x3 and IFC4 properties, there is now 1 unified namespace, based on IFC4 When exporting to IFC2x3, the mapping needed to have the correct Property and Attribute names, is dealt with in the background.

BIMEnhanced
