Feature Request: add STEP numbers next to each fail in the Read/Write IFC Tab.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I currently get an anonymized list of errors in the Read/Write IFC tab, like:

Error: convertIfcBooleanOperand problems in extrude: poly_data->points.size() 
!= 2*polygonal_boundary.size()
convertIfcBooleanOperand problems in extrude: poly_data->points.size() != 
2*polygonal_boundary.size()
convertIfcBooleanOperand problems in extrude: poly_data->points.size() != 
2*polygonal_boundary.size()
convertIfcBooleanOperand problems in extrude: poly_data->points.size() != 
2*polygonal_boundary.size()
convertIfcBooleanOperand problems in extrude: poly_data->points.size() != 
2*polygonal_boundary.size()
...

By knowing the STEP numbers, where each fail occurs, I could extract only the 
offending IFC snippets and attach them to future logs.

Thanks

I would recommend to use a debugger. Then you can easily get the STEP id and 
other information about the concerning object.

Having the STEP ids beside each error would help narrowing down what part of 
the IFC file is causing the issue. But no worries, I will add them myself to my 
local IFC++ codebase if it's a problem.

I agree that appending the entity id to the error messages makes sense. It is 
now added to the error message above and others in SolidModelConverter. If you 
find other error messages without entity id, please let me know.
