CityJSON objects with no geometry trigger error 906

[jaspervdv]

When validating a CityJSON file that has a set of objects of which some have no geometry issues arise. I would anticipate the validator to pass over these objects. However the validator returns this as an invalid feature: "Error 906 PRIMITIVE_NO_GEOMETRY Feature has no geometry defined (or val3dity doesn't handle this type). | info=".

The error seems to imply that a primitive is present that has no geometry, but there is no primitive present in this cityjson object.

This is the structure of the object:

"Dachgeschoss": { "attributes": { "IFC Elevation": 2.7, "IFC Guid": [ "273g3wqLzDtfYIl7qqkgcO" ], "IFC Long Name": "ACID00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "IFC Name": "Dachgeschoss" }, "children": [ "7" ], "parents": [ "Inner Shell" ], "type": "BuildingStorey" }

That's the behaviour I implemented, val3dity is for validating geometries and if an object has none it could indicate an error... But I agree that it could be annoying for certain.

How would you like to have this case reported? No report: no geom thus no error?

I personally think it is just the wording "error" that unfortunate, it is not really an error. Would it be possible to mention it just as a warning or info? or is that not a possibility?
