if an element of type 'IfcFlowFitting', 'IfcSurfaceStyle', or 'IfcFlowSegment' has no "Name" field (i.e. "*" in the IFC) then the geometry generation fails for the geometry element it belongs to.
However, the IFC spec doesn't require these element to have a 'Name' field - it is marked as OPTIONAL , eg. http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/ifc/IFC2x3/TC1/html/ifcpresentationappearanceresource/lexical/ifcsurfacestyle.htm
Furthermore, the error is not really clear, something like :
[Error] {2l1T6xB2rSHv2y8gtCye3T} Token * at 2832 invalid string
Failed to convert:
#94=IfcShapeRepresentation(#96,'Body','SweptSolid',(#70))
where the GUID is the one of the element in error.
