Hi, team! Can you tell me, please, how to get this information from IFC-object? I need parameters, grouped in "Dimensions". Thank you!

These parameters are mostly computed and come from different places. Thickness is the easiest one if it is a layered element, you get it from the material layers. Volume comes from processed computed geometry, area max is likely a main face area inferred from the volume and thickness. Area total is likely the computed surface area.
