Description
Currently, in order to invent my own property Foobar that is assigned to IfcWall, I have to additionally invent my own class (with related IFC entity set to IfcWall).
I understand there is logic why this is a good thing (i.e. makes dictionaries self contained for maintenance) but I also think this leads to fragmentation, not standardisation (which is the point of bSI).
I would love to be able to "extend" another dictionary's class with my own properties instead of redefining every IFC class again.
