Description

### Inquiry description

I wondered if there is a way to override a pipe/duct system of an element or to add an element with no connectors to a pipe/duct system when exporting to Ifc?
I was thinking like how it is possible for example to changing the IfcSpatialContainer/IfcName/IfcObjectType etc. of an element with the shared parameters.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Begin by locating the IFC export handling for distribution systems and shared-parameter overrides, then clarify the intended behavior for overriding IfcDistributionSystem or assigning connectorless elements; done requires an agreed outcome and maintainer confirmation.
