Description

This is a bit of an oddity, but most base quantity qtos have "Base" in the name, like Qto_WallBaseQuantities. BuildingElementProxy is the odd one out and does not have "Base" in the name. Can we standardise this?

Research direction

Start by locating the IFC definitions for BuildingElementProxy and the related Qto_* quantities, then compare the naming pattern used by Qto_WallBaseQuantities. Standardize the BuildingElementProxy quantity name and update all references consistently; done means the specification has no inconsistent name remaining.
