ENH: Option to NOT export IfcDistributionPort #630

Open kaddsolutions opened 1 year ago

kaddsolutions commented 1 year ago

Problem Description

When working with large Mechanical and Electrical Revit 2021 1.2 files and exporting to IFC4 Design Transfer, I would like to not have and IFCDISTRIBUTIONPORT in the export. When looking into the Ifc Export Options table to see if they can be set to Not Exported, I could not find any elements set to IFCDISTRIBUTIONPORT. How can I stop these entities from exporting?

Revit Version

pre 2022

IFC for Revit Addon Version

pre 2022

Windows Version

10 22H2

OK, distribution ports are really added "after the fact" as they are not really Revit elements at all. Let me do some research on the best way to have this be possible and report later.

@kaddsolutions Please note that any changes made may not include Revit 2021. Only the current version (2024) and two previous versions (in this case, 2023 and 2022) are supported.

IfcDistributionPort has a significant impact on Navisworks, because they are imported as a solid 3d, and there are thousands of them. Could be fixed in Navisworks import process? It would be really helpful.

I'll pass this along to the Navis team.
