.IFC Export from toolbox

Goooood morning MV Team,
I am running into the need more and more to export our 3d models to .IFC format. 
working with the BIM environment. 

our Clients are pressing really hard on BIM these days and understandably I get it. 
however tool box OEM 2020 does not have the option to export to .IFC. 
can we please get this feature added to 2020 asap. hot fix next build, today tomorrow, which ever comes first please. haha.
the work flow is:
we take their Revit model, pull out of it the main floor plans to work from, build our models in toolbox over the floor plan in actual place, insert our dwg into a new Revit rvt file, then pass it back to the archy's and engineers..

the bust here is they like to see our model, but none of the other trades can work with it or cut through it or hide certain parts to check for clash detection... so rendering us useless on the BIM side. autocad 2020 full version has the option to export to .IFC. which is exactly what the guys want to see, so they can apply it to their full model, navisworks, BIM 360 Glue etc, and all other trades can see their models interacting with ours. Win Win. PS this is really cool in a super nerdy way, but also very practical. 

long story short, can you please add the function to Export to .IFC. 

Thank you Thank you
