Document.Export

Description:
Exports the document to the Industry Standard Classes (IFC) format.

Remarks:
Exporting to IFC requires that document is modifiable, therefore there must be a transaction already open when this method is called.

This method may not be invoked during dynamic update, for the internal routine might need to modify the existing transaction.
