        Create a new IFC file object based on the nominated schema version. The
        schema version you choose determines what type of IFC data you can store
        in this model. The file is blank and contains no entities.

        It also sets up header data for STEP file serialisation, such as the
        current timestamp, IfcOpenShell as the preprocessor, and defaults to a
        DesignTransferView MVD.

        :param version: The schema version of the IFC file. Choose from
            "IFC2X3", "IFC4", or "IFC4X3". If you have loaded in a custom
            schema, you may specify that schema identifier here too.
