Use Coordination View 2.0 For Extended Model View

Issue

On the IFC Translator Option / Export Options tab there are 3 IFC View Definition options: Coordination View 1.0, Coordination View 2.0 and Extended Model View.

The Extended Model View is based on Coordination View 1.0 but it saves some extra content like Groups, etc..
Some organization require the Extended Model View to be saved based on CV 2.0 (for example COBie's FM Handover View). To fulfill this requirement a registry switch has to be applied to drive the Extended Model View to Coordination View 2.0. When using the key, Extended Model View will work based on CV2.0.
