No command options.

The following User Preferences control the behavior of the command:

Name	Title	Description
IfcExportBaseQuantities	Export base quantities	Export the derived base quantities from BIM entities. If this setting is enabled , calculated quantities (e.g. length, thickness, height) for each BIM element can be exported to IFC.
IfcExportElementsOnOffAndFrozenLayer	Export elements on OFF and FROZEN layers	Also export entities on layers which are currently OFF or Frozen. By default, this setting is enabled.
IfcExplodeExternalReferences	Explode external references	Explode external references in the IFX spatial structure. If this setting is enabled , each external reference will be divided into the elements (e.g. IfcSite, IfcBuilding) based on the spatial project structure.
IfcExportMultiPlyElementsAsAggregated	Export mutli-ply elements as aggregated elements	Export mutli-ply elements as aggregated elements. If this setting is enabled , each ply material belonging to a building element (e.g. wall, column) is calculated and exported individually
IfcExportTessalation	Level of tesselation	Controls the level of tesselation of the exported geometry. The options are: 0 or Current: no regeneration, the faceting is exported as set by the FACETRES system variable or the Modeler properties. Low, Medium or High: the faceting is regenerated, which takes longer.

Export - exports drawings in a variety of vector and raster formats.
Import - imports the geometry from external files into the current drawing.
