### Enhancement Description

Good day,

Would it be possible to expose [IfcQuantityLength](https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC2x3/TC1/HTML/ifcquantityresource/lexical/ifcquantitylength.htm), [IfcQuantityArea](https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC2x3/TC1/HTML/ifcquantityresource/lexical/ifcquantityarea.htm) and [IfcQuantityVolume](https://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC2x3/TC1/HTML/ifcquantityresource/lexical/ifcquantityvolume.htm) to the custom Pset mapping?

Seems like the support already exists and it only needs to be tied back to the pset parsing?

https://github.com/Autodesk/revit-ifc/blob/master/Source/Revit.IFC.Export/Exporter/PropertySet/QuantityEntryMap.cs#L143

This is sorely needed because a lot of automated checkers assume an IfcLength/Area/VolumeMeasure property as an invalid input.

Kind Regards,
Dimitar

Research direction

Start by reading Source/Revit.IFC.Export/Exporter/PropertySet/QuantityEntryMap.cs around line 143, then trace the custom Pset parsing path that consumes this mapping. Confirm how IfcQuantityLength, IfcQuantityArea, and IfcQuantityVolume are represented in the generated IFC output, and verify that automated checkers accept the resulting quantity properties.
