Dataflow Exclude Object Properties

The Exclude Object Properties dataflow removes property data from the IFC model to reduce complexity and file size. It allows the user to exclude all properties entirely or selectively retain essential ones based on the chosen options.

The purpose of this dataflow is to simplify the model and focus on essential property information needed for downstream use. This is especially useful when preparing models for sharing, analysis, or performance-sensitive workflows.
