# Excluding specific elements

In certain situations, it might be necessary to exclude certain elements from the IFC Export. This can be achieved in two ways: 

1.  Hiding specific elements in the Revit view and exporting visible elements only:

2. Excluding elements from export using specific parameters:&#x20;

Revit 2023 and newer:&#x20;

In Revit 2022 or older, setting the value for *IfcExportAs* to *Not Exported* will lead to the same result.&#x20;
