Unlike Revit or ArchiCAD, IFCs are treated as first-class citizens in
FreeCAD, and so where Revit fundamentally doesn’t know what a Building
is, FreeCAD has much better support of IFC, and has demonstrated
round-trip parametric IFC modeling. This feat is something that some
Revit aficionados may claim is impossible, but they are wrong.

IfcOpenShell’s Python module also has some pretty powerful ways to
slice and dice IFCs, some of which is mentioned in the IfcOpenShell
blog and some in the IfcOpenShell Academy. From these examples you can
write code snippets that run in real time to perform operations on the
IFC file, like generating new geometry, cutting cross sections, and
calculating statistics.
