Description

When linking in an IFC, the +Y axis of the IFC (which is project north) ends up pointing to Revit's true north. Project north should stay as project north. This was working in Revit 2020 but seems broken in 2022.

Research direction

Start by reproducing IFC linking in Revit 2022 and compare the result with Revit 2020, focusing on how the IFC +Y axis is aligned with project north and true north. Done means the linked IFC keeps project north as project north rather than aligning it to Revit's true north.
