Description
Using 22.5 IFC exporter (unsure if it was a problem with earlier version) it seems that the steel fabrication element generated when using steel connections does not have the correct end points when exported to IFC. It seems to be completely horizontal, and the end elevation the same as the start elevation.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the IFC export with a Revit steel beam whose start and end levels differ and that uses structural connections, comparing the Revit and IFC endpoints. Done means the exported steel fabrication element preserves the distinct end elevation instead of becoming horizontal; no source files, tests, or entry points are named.
