First steps in Blender BIM?

   So geometry nodes is making me consider getting a bit more refined geometry out of Blender that can be suitable for construction. I know it's already possible with Sverchok and other processes, but for my types of workflows, I haven't seriously considered it until now (I would usually default to Grasshopper).

   So now, I am wondering, how can I attach some properties to this object and then try to import it in Freecad, Revit, etc? The bricks are all instanced with geometry nodes.

   I haven't tried geometry nodes yet, but I suspect that after the mesh is evaluated, it is no different than any other modifier. In that case, simply treat it like any other object - create an IFC project, and assign an IFC class to the Blender object.
