Great! I wonder, can this kind of site design (imported gis data) be converted to IFC. Surely there are some kind of 'site classes' in which it can be stored. Can it?
@magicalcloud_75 there is survey point geometry storage in IFC, and IFC also supports absolute and transformed GIS CRSes, and with the new infrastructure additions in IFC4x3, there are quite a few classes for it to be stored in.
Again, the main challenge: "Geometry/Topology" :smile:
It doesn't matter what's our input and output, we have to find the best process to integrate those (raster or vector) geometries/topologies

Fantastic work, @yorik!

Ok. Then it might as well come from Qgis (community) to pick this up. Nice.
I have not heard of any IFC use with QGIS but here are a couple of threads discussing it.

With BlenderGIS (import/export shapefiles) and BlenderBIM (import/export IFC) it does seem like going back and forth is possible with Blender as the an intermediary. FreeCAD might also work as an intermediary.
