Description
### Problem Description
I basically want to import an IFC file. Standard walls (without windows) work perfect.
**Small Test Scenario:** In Revit, I create a wall and add a window and export it to IFC. Then, I import this IFC file again to Revit. What happens is that Revit has not assigned the system family "Basic Wall" to the wall. It just states the family as "Imported Symbol". Furthermore, the wall is not modifiable.
If I do this with an empty wall without any window, then the family and type are correct and equal as before the export and the wall is modifiable.

### Revit Version
2024.0.x
### IFC for Revit Addon Version
24.x.x
### Windows Version

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Revit 2024 scenario with an IFC wall containing a window, then compare it with an empty wall import. Inspect the IFC for Revit import path involved in creating these walls; done means the imported wall receives the expected "Basic Wall" system family and remains modifiable.
