Summary: Ease workflow for updating IFC links in existing projects.

Description: Need to prioritize ifc linking workflows, when new ifc backgrounds are released to us, it is a trial and error process on how to best update the link as sometimes overriding the files "works" other times need to troubleshoot. Converting ifcs to rvt files directly is not an option as our clients are not used to structural teams working in BIM (CAD is still extremely common) and therefore conversions are not error-proof. We work with mid-level firms on high end custom homes and thus, typically there isn't an official CAD/BIM manager in those offices. As more and more architectural clients are using other software systems (i.e. Tekla, ArchiCAD, etc.) for construction documentation, we need to have a smooth and flawless workflow. We shouldn't be impeded by their lack of knowledge to perform sophisticated tasks in Revit with ifcs. Highly desire to continue using Revit for structural documentation and collaboration.
