ExporterIFC

Description:
The main class provided by Revit to allow implementation of IFC export.

Remarks:
An instance of this class is provided to clients which implement IExporterIFC in order to provide an implementation for IFC export. It contains information on the options selected by the user for the export operation, as well as members used to access specific types of data needed to implement the export properly.

Name	Return Type	Description	Inherited From
M ClearFaceWithElementHandleMap()	None	Clear face with element handle map.
M Dispose()	None	Releases all resources used by the ExporterIFC
M Equals	None	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
M FindSpaceBoundingElementHandle(ElementId, ElementId)	IFCAnyHandle	Looks up the handle associated to the element and level id from the ExporterIFC's internal cache.
M Get3DContextHandle(String)	IFCAnyHandle	Obtains the IfcRepresentationContext or IfcRepresentationSubContext handle to be used for 3D entities (Model entities).
M GetDoorWindowOpeningHandle(ElementId)	IFCAnyHandle	Get the handle to the opening associated with a hosted (door/window) element from the internal cache.
M GetFamilyInstanceAssemblyOffset(FamilyInstance)	XYZ	Obsolete. Obtains Translation to adjust Family Instance within an Assembly, based on Family Symbol origin change.
M GetFamilyName()	String	Gets the name of the element assigned to the current export state.
M GetFile()	IFCFile	Gets the handle to the IFC file being created during this export operation.
M GetHashCode	None	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object )	Object
M GetHostObjects()	ElementId	Returns a collection containing the host object handles in the document.
M GetLayerNameForPresentationLayer(Element, ElementId)	String	Get the layer name associated with an element from the default layer mapping table.
M GetMaterialIdForCurrentExportState()	ElementId	This gets the material id that is associated with the element in the current export state.
M GetOptions()	IDictionary<String,String>	Gets the collection of named options set by the exporter client.
M GetOrCreateFillPattern(ElementId, Color, Double)	IFCAnyHandle	Get (or create) the IfcFillPatternStyle associated with an ElementId.
M GetPresentationLayerAssignments()	IFCAnyHandle	Get the list of the internally IfcPresentationLayerAssignments and their respective shape representations.
M GetRelatedElements()	ICollection<IFCAnyHandle>	Gets all elements not associated to stories.
M GetRelatedProducts()	ICollection<IFCAnyHandle>	Gets all products not associated to stories.
M GetType	None	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object )	Object
M PopExportState()	None	Resets the internal state of the exporter to process the previously active input element (if any), or the default state if the stack is empty.
M PopTransform()	None	Resets the internal transform of the exporter to process the previously active input element (if any), or the default transform if the stack is empty.
M PushExportState(Element, GeometryElement)	None	Sets the internal state of the exporter to process the geometry and properties of the input element.
M PushTransform(Transform)	None	Sets the internal transform of the exporter to process the geometry and properties of the input element.
M RegisterDoorWindowForUncreatedOpening(ElementId, IFCAnyHandle)	None	Registers a door or window in the ExporterIFC's internal cache. The ids registered correspond to openings in walls which have not been processed and created yet.
M RegisterFaceWithElementHandle(Face, IFCAnyHandle)	None	Register face with element handle to make sure the openings created are related to the right element.
M RegisterSpaceBoundingElementHandle(IFCAnyHandle, ElementId, ElementId)	None	Stores a handle representing a space bounding element to the ExporterIFC's internal cache.
M Set3DContextHandle(IFCAnyHandle, String)	None	Sets the IfcRepresentationContext or IfcRepresentationSubContext handle to be used for 3D entities (Model entities).
M SetCurrentExportedDocument(Document)	None	Sets the exporter to process a particular document during export.
M SetFile(IFCFile)	None	Sets the handle to the IFC file being created during this export operation.
M SetMaterialIdForCurrentExportState(ElementId)	None	This sets the material id that is to be associated with the element in the current export state.
M SetOwnerHistoryHandle(IFCAnyHandle)	None	Sets the handle to the IfcOwnerHistory for the file.
M ToString	None	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object )	Object
