Description
Reported https://forums.buildingsmart.org/t/can-we-make-layer-set-use-name-as-an-attribute-not-layersetname/3528
This is one of those things in the codebase I put a comment going "what's going on IFC".
Quoted:
Everything else uses "Name" except for IfcMaterialLayerSet and it's inconsistent :)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked buildingSMART forum discussion and the IFC4.x specification entry for IfcMaterialLayerSet. Determine whether changing LayerSetName to Name is compatible with the surrounding IFC naming rules and identify any affected references. Done means the naming decision and its specification impact are resolved consistently.
