This tool extracts IFC data and creates a structured export file. You can filter
by entity type and/or building level, and choose the output format.
Args:
entity_type: Type of IFC entity to export (e.g., "IfcWall") - leave empty for all entities
level_name: Name of the building level to filter by (e.g., "Level 1") - leave empty for all levels
output_format: "json" or "csv" format for the output file
Returns:
