Hello!
IFC4.3 has this definition: https://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcSpatialZone.htm
Supporting it would be valuable and add interoperability with clients, officials etc.
There are numerous use cases for it, for example defining volume and location of a flat inside a building. In many cases flat's official area and/or volume is not a sum of rooms (Archicad zones (IFCspaces) inside it).
Therefore grouping IfcSpaces to a IFCZone isn't sufficient.
In our market there are legally binding official areas that are necessary to be presented and communicated within the models (native+ifc). Modeling them with Morph and classifying as Zone is not elegant either.
There is a definite need for better spatial data management.
In other words what is the plan of supporting IFC4.3, 29 or is there an existing solution?
BR,
