Description

The set IFC object identifiers are not unique within the model suite (since the files are likely manually crafted). It would be preferable if these identifers are unique such that importing applications can handle more than one IFC file simultaneously.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the model suite referenced in the issue and compare IfcGloballyUniqueId values across its IFC files. Regenerate or revise the identifiers so they are unique across the suite, then verify that importing applications can distinguish objects from multiple files.
