Blender property tabs are hardcoded and we cannot customise them. IFC data only "somewhat" maps to Blender property tabs, and some things fail to map causing user confusion. For example material and styles are very confusing. Also scene and object properties are crazy overpopulated (see how many times IFCArchitect bulk collapses things). And this also causes things to be spread out and lost (e.g. some random panels in viewport N menu). This should give us a lot more control to organise panels exactly how we want them.
The layout uses three columns with a focus on a larger outliner (important as BIM models have lots of objects and complex hierarchies!) and properties, and removes the mostly irrelevant timeline for beginners.
if you switch ifc_class then relating_type_id can become invalid and we wasn't taking it into account
Also fixed bunch of warning like `pyrna_enum_to_py: current value '17' matches no enum in 'BIMModelProperties', '', 'relating_type_id'`` when some ifc_class has N related types and then you switch to other ifc_class that has less than N related types.
This reverts commit 4bc987924d since there was some unintentional changes.
Now when you use select_type in object properties - ifc class and related type gets selected in the BIM Tool - https://i.imgur.com/drIHYDz.png#3318
It was a bit confusing UX since when you finish editing arbitrary profile path the data is already saved in ifc but you were still in editing profile properties
IfcRelConnectsElements type of connection wasn't handled properly resulting in errors.
Now you should be able to see connections for connected slabs, walls etc - https://i.imgur.com/LpFBKBC.png
