Not able to load IFC-file, possible due to `Unexpected profile type`

See original GitHub issue

Big congrats on the library - this is really awesome!! I have been testing the lib with the PR at threejs (https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/20598), but I can only get the example IFC-files to load. I have tried with some of my other IFC files, but with no luck. These are files works when converted from IFC to gTLF.

When importing a file, this is the result from console.log:

Thanks @ThomasTJdev! We will implement IfcIShapeProfileDefs these days. We don’t need additional information; once we make the first step, we will let you know to see if it’s solved.

@ThomasTJdev Great! Keep in mind that these changes need some days to reflect on the other repos. Also, beware that the last changes regarding IFC functionality are in web-ifc-three.
