Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at Source/Revit.IFC.Export/Exporter/CeilingExporter.cs around line 126 and inspect how an IfcCoveringTOPPING element is mapped during IFC 4x3 export. Reproduce the export with the reported Revit and IFC add-on versions, then verify that the output preserves IfcCoveringTOPPING rather than converting it to IfcCoveringFLOORING.
