IfcTypes - automatic assignment

One option for automatically assigning IFC types is the BIM... → Assign IFC type automatically F-key function in the Modfiy categroy. With this function all active elements that have no IFC type are assigned a suitable IFC type. If the type cannot be automatically uniquely defined, the element is assigned the IFC type IfcBuildingElementProxy, with which at least a generally valid description is assigned.
