I'm playing around with the sample-test files from buildingSMART.

the Clinic_Plumbing.ifc had this import error:

I don't get that error... But nevertheless I fixed the above problem

May a stupid question, but how could I update this? The add-on manager say Native IFC is version 2022-10-20 (a whole year behind)

Oh I think I need to update https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/FreeCAD-NativeIFC/blob/main/package.xml manually... Thanks for the hint!
