IfcCivilElement doesn't have CorrectTypeAssigned = IfcCivilElementType

[Andrej730]

Noticed that in latest .exp schemas (as it was in ifc4 too) IfcCivilElement doesnt have WHERE block with CorrectTypeAssigned = IfcCivilElementType. Seems like a bug.

Current code for IfcCivilElement:

ENTITY IfcCivilElement
 SUBTYPE OF (IfcElement);
END_ENTITY;

ENTITY IfcCivilElementType
 SUBTYPE OF (IfcElementType);
END_ENTITY;

Example for IfcWindow with CorrectTypeAssigned:

ENTITY IfcWindow
 SUBTYPE OF (IfcBuiltElement);
    OverallHeight : OPTIONAL IfcPositiveLengthMeasure;
    OverallWidth : OPTIONAL IfcPositiveLengthMeasure;
    PredefinedType : OPTIONAL IfcWindowTypeEnum;
    PartitioningType : OPTIONAL IfcWindowTypePartitioningEnum;
    UserDefinedPartitioningType : OPTIONAL IfcLabel;
 WHERE
    CorrectPredefinedType : NOT(EXISTS(PredefinedType)) OR
 (PredefinedType <> IfcWindowTypeEnum.USERDEFINED) OR
 ((PredefinedType = IfcWindowTypeEnum.USERDEFINED) AND EXISTS (SELF\IfcObject.ObjectType));
    CorrectTypeAssigned : (SIZEOF(IsTypedBy) = 0) OR
  ('IFC4X3_TC1.IFCWINDOWTYPE' IN TYPEOF(SELF\IfcObject.IsTypedBy[1].RelatingType));
END_ENTITY;

These rules are automatically generated, but somehow it seems that the CorrectTypeAssigned rule is only generated for entities having a predefined types (https://github.com/buildingSMART/IFC4.3.x-development/blob/master/code/xmi_document.py#L877) not sure what the reasoning was behind that, maybe none?

@aothms at a guess maybe it was coded alongside the "CorrectPredefinedType" rule so just an oversight? I don't see any reason for the two to be correlated.

I agree, marking this as decided.

Does it make sense to fix since IfcCivilElement and IfcCivilElementType are deprecated?

Does it make sense to fix since IfcCivilElement and IfcCivilElementType are deprecated?

Could it be that if it's a problem with WHERE block in general then it also affects some other entities?

Same thing for 'IfcDistributionElementType', 'IfcFurnishingElementType' and 'IfcBuiltElementType'
