There is a problem that it is not displayed normally when converting IFC Schependomlaan.ifc among the Sample-Test-Files files in buildingSMART.
Is there any solution regarding this?

Hello Kailin. thanks for the answer.
Changing the option solved the problem. Specifically, I'm curious about the role of the 'Read all Geometric Representations' option.
I don't understand it even with the explanation of 'http://docs.safe.com/fme/2019.0/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/ifc/IFC_reader.htm'.
Hello @bskim, thanks for the update! I'm glad this worked for you! I see you have a FME 2019.0 doc link there, I think the most up-to-date documentation can be found here (mind you the descriptions read about the same).
The reason the geometry looked different in FME is because we were reading the "Bounding Box" representation of each object. In this case, we want to ensure 'Box' is not included in the 'Representations to Read' parameter on the IFC Reader (eg. so FME ignores the bounding boxes for the geometry completely). Try toggling 'Box' on/off on the reader parameter, then re-reading to see the difference!
Geometric Representation more or less gives context/position/or orientation information about the geometry itself! I'll see if we can make any improvements to the parameter descriptions in the docs.
Would you mind if I asked what you're using FME to do? Are you using FME to migrate IFC models between applications or?
