I am aware that IFC for site / landscape / urban planning is currently ongoing, so in the meantime, what is the recommended IFC class to be used for these types of objects, that is hopefully more specific than `IfcGeographicElement`? Alternatively, I can just set a user defined `PredefinedType` for an `IfcGeographicElement`, I guess?
