For a future roadmap, i do like the idea of being to edit any of the assemblies instances throughout the project, and then they all update.
If collection instances too, could use something like the following to edit any child aggregate type, to change them all.

Dumb question, why not use Blender's collection instances for these typed assemblies? There might be some performance advantages.
A blender collection won't survive an IFC roundtrip?
It could. :) It's only a matter of code.
It actually did at one point: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/1194
Where is this refresh operator button hidden?
Sorry, it is hidden. You have to select the children duplicate (the empty with the IfcElementAssembly class), press F3 and type "refresh aggregate". And you have to do it for each duplicate. I know, not ideal...
@theoryshaw I'm trying to finish this basic implementation, and then I'll investigate how to improve with a different system. Thanks for the references, I'll dig in when I have the time.
