Description

Hello
sea [IFC2REVIT en perd des bouts.pdf](https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/files/2402168/IFC2REVIT.en.perd.des.bouts.pdf)
1. Make a very simple model : 4 walls 1 space
2. Create a specific parameter for objects space (IfcSpace)
3. Put a value of test for the space create here
4. Export it in IFC
5. Check that the parameter was well recorded in the IFC with a notepad or a IFC viewer
6. Open the model IFC with REVIT and see if the space guards its parameter ... the parameter is lost :c

Research direction

Reproduce the reported workflow with a four-wall, one-space model: create a specific parameter on the IfcSpace, export to IFC, and inspect it in a text editor or IFC viewer before reopening it in Revit. Trace the IFC export/import handling for IfcSpace parameters; done means the parameter value survives the round trip. No source files or tests are named, so begin by locating the relevant export and import entry points.
