    Because it's an 'abstract supertype'. An abstract supertype is a class (or entity) that cannot be instantiated directly in a model...it exists to define common attributes and relationships that are shared by its subtypes
    https://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/lexical/IfcFacilityPart.htm

    All the following are a subtypes of the IfcFacilityPart supertype...

    One issue:
    While IfcFacilityPart is an abstract, like many others (e.g., IfcRoot, IfcObject, IfcTypeObject, etc.), there is still a need to be able to edit/apply values to attributes (e.g., IfcSpatialStructureElement.CompositionType) from which the instantiated object/container (e.g., IfcFacilityPartCommon) must inherit.

    How is that best handled in Bonsai?

    You should be able to edit all attributes including inherited ones. Is it not showing up in your attributes panel?
