ArchElite perspective
Editorial analysis: operational considerations for project teams, not additional reported facts.
Model handoffs can lose information or place geometry incorrectly, so the reported IFC and coordinate-reference changes are worth testing together. A representative export should be checked in the receiving tool for origin, units, elevation, object classification and retained properties before it becomes a coordination reference. The release coverage is not a guarantee that a particular SketchUp-to-Revit workflow will transfer everything a team needs.
