IfcRailwayPartTypeEnum confusing Type values #602

Open GiuMn opened 1 year ago

GiuMn commented 1 year ago

Issue: TURNOUTSUPERSTRUCTURE instead of TURNOUTTRACKSTRUCTURE. Why?

Why is the track structure part/segment with the turnout called "TURNOUTSUPERSTRUCTURE " when in the spatial decomposition the SUPERSTRUCTURE is supposed to be the part above the tracks, meaning the part that contains the catenaries and the cables etc, and the part with tracks is supposed to be TRACKSTRUCTURE?

This is very confusing. here the link to the page: https://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcRailwayPartTypeEnum.htm

Can you suggest improvements/changes to the whole IfcRailwayPartTypeEnum documentation? We are now extending documentation for spatial structure, this might be a good chance to fix that too. Feel free to get in touch
