171+ Blender saves and loads projects to a ``.blend `` file. However. the
172+ BlenderBIM Add-on works with native IFC, and this means instead of saving
173+ and loading ``.blend `` files, you should instead save and load the ``.ifc ``
174+ project.
175+
176+ If you have opened a ``.blend `` file, there is a risk that the contents of
177+ the ``.blend `` session do not correlate to the contents of the ``.ifc ``,
178+ which can cause this error. Unless you are an advanced user, only save and
179+ load ``.ifc `` files.
