Description

### Enhancement Description

Revit's spatial hierarchy seems to be hardcoded to IfcSite > IfcBuilding > IfcBuildingStorey.

A large number of the projects I work on have multiple sites and multiple buildings. I'm not aware of any way currently to configure this in Revit. Is it possible?

Similarly, for anybody working in infra, such as a bridge, I also don't think it's possible to export this.

### Revit Version

2024.3.x

### IFC for Revit Addon Version

26.1.0

### Windows Version

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify the desired configurable spatial hierarchies for multiple sites, buildings, and infrastructure, then trace how the IFC for Revit addon currently exports Revit's hierarchy; done should include a defined configuration approach and verified exports for those cases.
