ENH: Connector Element Export
Enhancement Description
Hello,
There is a "Connector Element" category in Revit (OST_ConnectorElem // -2007000).
These are used to create connections for HVAC equipment.
Unfortunately, it's currently impossible to control whether these elements are exported to IFC. They are not shown in the "Visibility/Graphics" settings or the IFC "Category Mapping Table" and are always exported by default as IfcDistributionPort.
As these are not heavily used in the early stages of a project, they cause IFC files to become bloated, with thousands of instances within a single file with no particular benefit.
Would it be possible to add the ability to control whether these elements are exported? A second, subsequent improvement might be to allow better control by adding them as a standalone category within Revit.
