shouldExportElement Method

If true is returned, then the element will be exported.

shouldExportElement(_element: Element): Promise<boolean>

@note This method can optionally be overridden to exclude an individual Element (and its children and ElementAspects) from the export. The base implementation always returns true.

@note During IModelExporter.exportChanges, this method is also called once for each unchanged ancestor of a changed element, so that a rejected ancestor excludes its changed descendants.
