BlenderBIM ifc project lost after opening .blend again

Hello,
Question about BlenderBIM; I've created some simple models by importing OBJ, classifying parts, exporting IFC out and IFC's work fine elsewhere, perfect!

Now I'd need to make small edits to these models in Blender, and export IFC's again, but when opening .blend file, BlenderBIM dont seem to recognize that there is an IFC project in this .blend-file. In "Scene properties\Ifc Project" it only shows option to create a new project.

Is this how BlenderBIM only currently works?

Versions are blender-2.93.5 and blenderbim-210829-py39-win.

    Well, typically once you export it out, the IFC location is stored in the Blend file so if you save that Blend file, reopening it will still have all the IFC data. If you moved the IFC away or didn't save it then you might run into issues. The IFC is your source of truth - the Blend file is kinda just like a Blender geometry cache - not much more.

    By the way there is a new BlenderBIM Add-on version you might want to upgrade.

    If you're still running into issues I'm happy to organise a screenshare and debug in the OSArch live chat :)
