   If it doesn't mess up,

   the worst case scenario is to:

   1.) declassify / break the ifc classification

   2.) Apply the decimate modifier

   3.) Reclassify the object

   You won't be able to use conventional means of automatic retopology because the mesh is non-manifold. Depending on the number of faces you want, and the LOD you're after a simple solution is to go into edit mode, delete the current mesh, add a cylinder and extrude it along the Z axis and make it look like what you're after eg. from 13k tris to 90 tris
