Ability to manage outer/inner pipe wall symbology separate from linear/profile symbology settings.

Need the ability to see wall symbology but not centerline. If the centerline symbology is set to construction class so are the inside/outside walls and they don't print. If the centerline is set to 255 the inside/outside walls do display in print ...

When exporting to the IFC, keep a different identification for each item.

When exporting the IFC, each element is identified by a default value. For example, all solids come out with an identification as smartsolid. This makes it very difficult to search for an element in the model.
