At the moment I don't think so since ifc & Blenderbim uses a different boolean system,
A workaround would be to create an ifcOpening that you model around the shape of the beam interesection, but this is not dynamic nor time efficient.
Maybe put it as a feature request on the Github page? Sounds useful to me https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues
From your screenshot, You would like to use the beam as a lintel? If I understand correctly, is it not more convenient to model the lintel/beam in the IfcWindowType itself? Or make an IfcElementAssembly with a Beam and Window? Please ignore this post if that was not your intention.
@Coen
There are companies that create laying plans of stones for the masonry (a first step in semi-automatic manufacturing systems).
And the beam can be concrete or any other component. If I now pass the wall as an IFC file, it should be without the beam.
The window is already a component for the extension, but I try to create models for the shell, the first stage of building. Therefore, a window does not help me.
@Nigel said: @peterpaul OT question, what is a 'stone' in your previous post?
Sorry, layout of bricks.
The advantage for the manufacturer. He can utilize his production very well.
Currently, not very good plans are submitted. A good IFC file with only the walls could improve it.

Aha! probably concrete blocks or CMUs down here, thanks @peterpaul

I try :-)
+1, this feature.
