properties of the Speckle object. This works well if you are importing standardized objects such as structural sections.
Suppose an object with a type “W12x19” is added to a Revit project. Speckle can easily recognize this object and match it to a type with the same name in the Wide Flange family, provided that family type is loaded in the project. If there isn’t a family type loaded into Revit of the correct category and type , then Speckle will make its best guess of which object type to match to.
To avoid this, you can use the object type mapping setting.
