NOTE:

• Structural View is recommended for import over Coordination View in that the outcome for a Coordination View is not guaranteed. The fourth line will state the view classification.

• IfcBeams and IfcColumns are Coordination View entities, and not Structural View entities, though they import correctly using Structural View if their shape representation is based on IfcSweptAreaSolid.
