Instead of specifying parameters `a`, `b`, `c` and `d`, more meaningful parameters have been introduced (`threshold`, `automatic_offset_point`, `x`, `y` and `z`), which allow to do the same operations in a more understandable way.
Noticed that adding a covering in millimeters project didn't worked - the reason was that shapely was using tolerance in ifc project units when get_obj_base_points was returning points in si (blender always operates in meters internally).
I've changed get_obj_base_points to return data in project units and get_bmesh_from_polygon to convert it back to meters for Blender.
It's probably would be better to always operate in si until we need to save data to ifc but I'm not that familiar with that module to just change it everywhere.
Ping @maxfb87 just in case.
If you would select container1 + obj1 with intention to copy obj1 to container1 - running bim.copy_to_container would also copy container1.
Similar issue for referencing/dereferncing structures in other structures in ifc4x3.

as currently there is no other ui to indicate that other formats besides .ifc are supported and I guess we just expect users to change extension in the saved filename

when the user ran the web ui for the first time. the running_pid file was not created yet by the server so it threw an exception due to with open not inside the try block
