IfcCardinalPointReference example

Cardinal point usage example seems a bit confusing
https://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcCardinalPointReference.htm

Looks like the images
Figure 8.10.2.1.A use wrong hand coordinate systems ( x -> left )

and Figure 8.10.2.1.B is shown in very non ifc way. (usually profile at bottom and z up, then the left is left)

Of course the hole 'left' in element depends where you are looking from.

https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4_3/HTML/annex_e/building-elements/beam-parametric-cross-section.html#Figure-E.B-Beam-profile-and-cardinal-point-usage

also here the profile left is right. So I assume this is by desing?

Start with the IfcCardinalPointReference page and Figures 8.10.2.1.A and 8.10.2.1.B, then compare them with the linked Beam profile and cardinal point usage figure. Check the coordinate-system and viewing-direction conventions used by the IFC examples. Done means the intended convention is established and the confusing figure or explanatory text is corrected or clarified.
