Research direction

Start with the Revit-IfcExporter parameter-expression wiki page and the attached example; investigate whether system-family layer materials can be referenced for Revit 2024.3.x and IFC 24.3.2. Done means documenting a supported expression or establishing that this capability is unavailable.
