- Improved user defined property set mapping, especially for IFC2x3 entities that previously had no type entity exported.
- Improved validity of IFC files when exporting elements with compound structures.
- Updated French and German localization resources.
Bug fixes:

- Fixed export of the user defined PredefinedType for the stair element.
- Fixed geometry transformation for elements in assemblies.
- Fixed local placement of the openings in framing elements export.
- Fixed missing sketch-based openings in sloped floor elements.
- Fixed the calculation of the height parameter for some railings in metric projects when a previous value had been calculated that wasn't applicable to this railing.
- Fixed the overall height value when exporting roof-based windows to IFC.
- Fixed the slope common property set parameter calculation when exporting some stringers to IFC.
- Fixed the walls export if option "Split Walls Columns Ducts by Level" is used.
