How do you phase certain IfcClasses

It appears IfcGeographicElement doesn't have something like a Pset_GeographicElementCommon pset--and thus no status property.

How does one go about phasing things? new/existing/demolish, etc?

I would think a Custom Pset?

Also, why can't I edit the StringProperty name?

If custom, would think a custom pset like Pset_GeographicElementCommon, along with an enumerated list of values such as ["NEW", "EXISTING", "DEMOLISH", etc.], would be best, as I would think you can use a value like r"Pset_.*Common" in the EPsetDrawing.Metadata and have it export out the same CSS classes as the other objects that have the Pset.*Common Pset.

Also, does anyone know how to phase IfcDistributionElement?

BuildingSmart stopping me from just creating a custom pset to make phasing simpler...

I guess most of the IfcBuildingElement has status in pset_common. But yes, would love to know how this is being done for the like IfcDistributionElement

@theoryshaw did custom pset work out well
