Parameters

folder
Type: System String
Output folder into which the file will be exported. The folder must exist.
name
Type: System String
Either the name of a single file or a prefix for a set of files. If empty, automatic naming will be used.

Various options applicable to the IFC format. If a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) , all options will be set to their respective default values.

Return Value

True if successful, otherwise False.

Remarks

Exporting to IFC requires that document is modifiable, therefore there must be a transaction already open when this method is called.

This method may not be invoked during dynamic update, for the internal routine might need to modify the existing transaction.
