What is the logic of saving individual object types from an IFC file to the resulting geodatabase feature classes?
I am asking because lines are also created for some types of objects with solid geometry. In addition to the multipatch object class, a nonspatial table is also created. No nonspatial table is created for the following object types: IfcGrid, IfcSite. What it depends on? How does FME map geometry from IFC files to feature classes?

+2Hi @aneta ,
When it comes to writing Geodatabase, you specify the geometry in the writer feature types. Since geodatabase feature classes only allows one geometry type per feature class, we have a parameter in the writer feature type(s) that allow you to set the required geometry.
One transformer that can help you sort out the geometry of your features is the GeometryFilter. This transformer will add a separate output port for each geometry type you are interested in filtering for, making it easy to send your point, line, and polygon features to the appropriate writer feature type on the canvas.
