Error occured because ShapeBuilder was assigning "Curve2D" representation type for elevation view curves when the correct type is "Curve3D".
It use to occur for both doors and windows created with ifc modifier.

It caused errors because it was expecting mesh object to be selected - when it's not necessary that active_object is the one that mesh belongs to and sometimes no objects can be selected at all.
Error occured when you were editing annotation mesh and tried to switched from EDIT mode

Crash was caused by some change in Blender Python API in 3.5.
The code below resulted in `ValueError: bpy_struct: item.attr = val: MeshPolygon.vertices: array length cannot be changed to 4 (expected 0)`
```
obj.data.polygons.add(1)
p1 = obj.data.polygons[-1]
p1.vertices = (v1.index, v2.index, v3.index, v4.index)
```
Now adding STAIR_ARROW annotation is a bit more clever - if you have IfcStairFlight selected when adding this type of annotation it will automatically:
1) define stair as it's parent;
2) add the stair as it's product;
3) place itself along the stair (it's assumed that stair direction is X+)

It was causing an error below on opening BIM Tool and probably in some other places.

Added support for sliding doors in IFC Door Modifier.
The main differences are 2d representation (https://i.imgur.com/VyEH569.png) and the door panel being placed before the lining, not after
Function include building a simple highway alignment and mapping of sementic segment definitions to geometric definitions (this part is still a work in progress)
