IFC Translator Bug - Maybe??

Advisor

I have noticed a difference between importing IFC models as objects and then turning them into morphs as compared to importing IFC models and having the translator turn them into morphs. There were hours of confusion here trying to figure out what was going on!!!

There is a critical difference here in how the morphs play with plan and section cut fill between these two methods.

I don't know if it is a translator option, but the difference is that the left Morph has Floor Plan and Section > Floor Plan Display > Floor Plan Display set to "Projected with Overhead" while the right one is set to "Outlines Only".
