Export 3D Elements to IFC without losing its metadata

I need an easier way to export only 3D elements to IFC from OpenRoads Designer. Exported elements need to include all item type attributes.

This can be done today by creating the iModel first. From Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, a Saved View in that iModel with only the 3d displayed is defined and and then exported to IFC using the Saved View. The resulting IFC file includes only the 3d elements with their Item Types. While this works through Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, we want the ability to do it directly from OpenRoads Designer.
