ImporterIFCUtils

Description:
A class that contains utilities needed to implement Revit's version of the IFC import client application.

Remarks:
This class contains special API utilities needed to enable the implementation of the client application for IFC import. Some of these utilities will be needed temporarily while the code for IFC import is migrated into the export client. These temporary interfaces are likely to change in upcoming Revit releases.
