IFC Type

I have noticed that walls I am modelling in a Project have an IFC Type of "IFCBuildingElementProxy"

Shouldn't they be IFCWalls?

Have I broken something?

TIA

Seems I have broken something but this may not be related as its a black art is IFC Translator/Management settings in ArchiCAD

What is weird is this is from ArchiCAD 22's default UK Template all I did as far as I am aware is add some new walls a slab a door a window and a roof yet the file seems to be missing settings for all those red highlighted properties

It seems the ArchiCAD 22 Template the UK one anyway the Properties need to be fixed, which can be done yourself just a bit tedious to do. Least it wasn't me that broke it.

As for the IFC Type mapping that does seem to be something I have broken as the ArchiCAD 21 Template file works as expected. Its just my Project file that has the problem, so I have to experiment to find out how to fix it.
