The open source exporter consists of two separate downloads and installations: the exporter
and a custom export UI. After they are installed, you can still launch the IFC export command
from the Application menu; however, you will see a new IFC Export dialog box (Figure 7.32).
Much like the CAD export process we described previously in this chapter, this interface allows
you to create, customize, and save export setups.

In the IFC Export dialog box, click the ellipsis button next to the Current Selected Setup
drop-down list and you will be able to customize the IFC export setup (Figure 7.33). In addition
to the predefined export configurations, you can create and save your own setups that will be
maintained in the Revit project file.
