If you are interested in BIM with IFC using STEPcode and BRL-CAD, take a
look at how IfcOpenShell does IFC with OpenCasCade.   IFC geometry entities
are the same as STEP's in part42, they just add the prefix of IFC to each
entity.   IFC also contains some procedural stuff like extrusions.   So on
import IfcOpenShell strips off the IFC prefix and sends the geometry
through the OpenCasCade existing STEP translator, and uses the OpenCasCade
modeling kernel for the procedural stuff.   You could do something similar
with STEPcode and BRL-CAD.

FreeCAD uses IfcOpenShell since it is also based on OpenCasCade.   They may
also be interested in a project.
