Reword documentation to provide clarity on whether or not IfcExternalSpatialStructureElement is hierarchical
On the IfcSpatialElement page it explains how IfcSpatialStructureElement is hierarchical and IfcSpatialZone is not, but does not mention IfcExternalSpatialStructureElement.
I assume IfcExternalSpatialStructureElement is intended to be hierarchical, but it would be good to make it clear somewhere.
I agree. Hierarchical. From the description "kind of external spaces, regions, and volumes" I would see nothing that forbids hierarchies even if use cases for them are probably hard to find.
