Just trying the MEP modeling tools. When doing a DATAEXTRACTION for quantities and axis lengths, both 3D SOLID and 3D SOLID PLY appear, with the same properties.
What is a 3D SOLID PLY entity and why does it appear on DATAEXTRACTION?
Thanks

    When a multiply composition is applied to a BIM solid, it is internally divided in plies. It remains a single solid though.

    Thanks Louis! So giving flexibility in what to extract.
