Description

### Enhancement Description

... As a user I would like to be able to export specific Views with the current Colors, being both Element Overrides or View Filter overrides according to their priority. This would enable me to send IFC files with color coding in ie. Rebars showing the diameter of the rebars or other color codings directly to the recipients.

### Revit Version

2024.0.x

### IFC for Revit Addon Version

24.x.x

### Windows Version

11 22H2

Research direction

Start by reproducing a Revit 2024 export of a specific view containing element overrides and view-filter overrides, then trace the IFC export path involved. Done means the exported IFC preserves the view's color coding according to the stated override priority, including cases such as rebar diameter colors.
