What do we win:
Spatial Structure element that has not been used.
What do we loose
nothing
Schema impact:
low
Instance model impact:
non existant
Backwards compatible:
yes
Automatic migration possible:
yes
Additional implications:
can be modeled with IfcSpace.EXTERNAL at IfcSpace level and IfcFacility and IfcFacilityPart on higher levels
Note that not all points need to be satisfied!
Backwards compatibility and file size are not concerns.
