How to export "cable tray with fittings" to IFC file?

I tried a rvt file containing only one instance with the system family type "cable tray with fittings", which is attached.

 

When I exported it to IFC file, the shape details are lost and I only got a bounding box, as shown in the comparison figures attached.

 

Could any one help me to export the attached rvt file to IFC, keeping its shape details?

What IFC export version(s) did you try? Which Revit version?

You have to tweak your IFC export settings a bit. Attached ZIP file has screenshots of the custom export settings and the IFC export.

Plan 'B' would be to export as DWG then export that IFC out from Acad.
