Description

I think we should consider changing how the Library.Query.Match works.

Sometimes in GSA_Toolkit and Revit_Toolkit methods fail if the name of the sections are slightly different: "CHS 33.7x4.0" and "CHS 33.7x4".

Another example might be if a section is named "CHS 114x6.3" in a software's database and "CHS 114.3x6.3", then you might want to treat them as a match. (Ping @jdarcyBHE )

Research direction

Start with Library_Engine/Query/Match.cs at lines 39-53 and compare the current matching behavior for the section-name examples in the issue. Define the intended matching rules for near-equivalent names, then verify that GSA_Toolkit and Revit_Toolkit methods match the relevant sections without introducing incorrect matches.
