tapir-archicad-automation (bimgeek)MCADConfidence: Medium

Columns and shells made with Tapir differed from ones placed with the Archicad 30 tools, and the Speckle extractor refused them (ENG-11342): CreateColumns left Fixed single-segment defaults where the Column tool stores Proportional 1.0, and CreateShells left Vertical at 1 degree where the Shell tool stores Perpendicular at pi/2, so agent-created geometry looks like a column until the next tool rejects it.
