List of datatypes without IfcCompoundPlaneAngleMeasure

[MatthiasWeise]

Is it intentional that IfcCompoundPlaneAngleMeasure was omitted as a supported data type?
What does it mean if IfcCompoundPlaneAngleMeasure is shown in this list (https://github.com/buildingSMART/IDS/blob/6893df1669755263b2362b82752092d9c64a6e5e/Documentation/DataTypes.md):

1. is it excluded from allowed/checkable datatypes
2. or is it excluded from constraints?

Also

Property dataTypes can be set to any values according to the following table.

Quite a few of these types are not selectable by IfcValue and hence cannot be used as property data types? Most of the enums are in fact predefined types, but others are likely not in scope at all such as IfcBoxAlignment which is only a mandatory attribute type on one other entity. Did I miss something, have I been out of the loop for too long?

IfcCompoundPlaneAngleMeasure

I guess for the same reason IfcComplexNumber is missing. Would be good to also explicitly list the types that are not supported.

I remember discussion on slack whether IfcCompoundPlaneAngleMeasure should be mapped to a double. I don't remember the outcome.

But I agree. Even if we can't constrain the value because we don't have an IDS type for it, we should be able to require it as a data type.

Ageed, I will update the audit tool and the documentation.
