Description

### Enhancement Description

Maybe completely out of scope but wasn't sure what other channel to discuss this in.

IDS is awesome. IDS runs on IFC. Revit exporting to IFC is slow. It would be awesomer if you could run the IDS within Revit prior to exporting IFC. That would save a lot of time and prevent the need to have two auditing systems (audit Revit parameters, then audit IFC properties again afterwards).

### Revit Version

2026.0.x

### IFC for Revit Addon Version

26.1.0

### Windows Version

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Revit add-on's IDS validation and IFC export workflows, then establish whether validation before export is technically supported. Done requires an agreed scope and implementation path for running IDS against Revit data before IFC export.
