Overriding ExportIFCCategoryTable

For more fine-grained control over our exports of our IFC's we need to figure out a way to override this ExportIFCCategoryTable value in the revit application while it's running. The parameter is basically just a path to a mapping file.

 

What we need to do is to be able to provide 'IFC Export Classes' settings through the API, however, the parameter that houses the location of this IfcExortClasses file is read-only. It also doesn't look like the revit-ifc project has any mention of this specific part of the export process. 

When I check the contents of an IFCExportSettings.json there is also does not seem to be an entry for this specific configuration element.

 

Any ideas?

 

Documentation on the parameter I need.

Nope, sorry, no idea. May the IFC experts in the Revit IFC discussion forum can help you further:
