ArchiCAD to Unreal via IFC — Fully Parametric Walls in Engine

[Dumple1 (Stoyan Dimitrov)]

Hi everyone,
New in this build of UniqueBuilder: IFC import from ArchiCAD.
I can now bring IFC files from ArchiCAD into Unreal, and the walls stay fully parametric and editable directly in-engine — nothing baked into static meshes on import:

Walls with start/end points, thickness, height
Openings that recalculate on the wall in real time
Full UV control directly in-engine

The goal is to keep the architectural data parametric all the way through, instead of importing everything as static geometry.
Any feedback or ideas are welcome.

Nice work! Keeping IFC data fully parametric inside Unreal instead of converting everything to static meshes is a very interesting approach. Real-time wall editing and opening updates could save a lot of time during design iterations. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves and performs on larger BIM projects.
