Research direction

The report concerns the “Use type name only for IFCType name” function in Revit 2024.3.x and IFC for Revit 24.3.2, with the same problem noted for Revit 2025. Start by reproducing the behavior using the attached examples; done means the setting produces IFCType names from type names alone, or the report clearly documents the unsupported behavior.
