Duplicate coordination object and axis in IFC Import.

... Hello.
I have configured a modell in Revit2025, Coordination generic modell, and Project Basis Point all over the internal origin. Then added geographic north rotation.
I export the IFC with internal coordinates and geographic north and everything is OK in every IFC viewer, but when I re-import this IFC in Revit, all models are ok, except there are duplicates of the coordination object and of the axis raster, and both are rotated AND WITH THE SAME IFC GUID...
When I go into the "container" ifc.RVT the duplicates are there. If I erase them, and go back to the host model, and reload the IFC these rotated duplicates no longer appear.
How can we avoid this?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you are trying to get a Revit model into an older version?

I'm not sure what the rest of it means. Can you share sample models or screenshots?

the important part is:

As these duplicates are nowhere in the exported IFC, I must infer that the problem lies in the IFC reference process, that is when Revit (hidden from user) imports the IFC in a separate RVT-Carrier file and then references this last one in the host Revit (but tells the user the reference is the IFC)
