The error message was (it was trying to access curves from the original mesh instead of dummy curve object):
```

On older numpy versions, np.ndarray was less forgiving and wasn't allowing passing 1 argument instead of required 2.
And turned out numpy doesn't yet have typing for shapes (https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/16544), so all matrices and other shapes specified as `npt.NDArray[np.float64]`.
Fixed type discrepancies for `get_edges` and `get_faces` and also had to fix `import_ifc` as Blender apparently has problems with storing np.int32 in custom attributes (https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/121072), tested that Blender is okay with np.int32 in other cases we had (addressing BMesh.verts[i] where `i` is np.int32).
Example:
```
import ifcopenshell
ifc_file = ifcopenshell.file(schema="IFC2X3")
# ifc_file.begin_transaction()
wall = ifc_file.createIfcWall()
wall.Identification = "25"

ifcpatch ConvertLengthUnit - change used units from plural to singular names, to make it consistent across the api
more test coverage - test converting to more units and back from them
the error is below, not sure how I haven't noticed it before 🤔
assert subject.format('imperial_length(1, 1)') == "1'"
> raise VisitError(tree.data, tree, e)
