Description

### Problem Description

When working with large Mechanical and Electrical Revit 2021 1.2 files and exporting to IFC4 Design Transfer, I would like to not have and IFCDISTRIBUTIONPORT in the export.
When looking into the Ifc Export Options table to see if they can be set to Not Exported, I could not find any elements set to IFCDISTRIBUTIONPORT. How can I stop these entities from exporting?

Research direction

The issue names the IFC Export Options table and IFCDISTRIBUTIONPORT; start by tracing how that table controls exported entity types. Confirm whether a configuration point exists for excluding this entity, then verify an IFC4 Design Transfer export no longer contains it.
