Hence, the call for decent testing…

BlenderBIM 0.0.200621 imported Uptown.ifc now in a reasonable time without noticeable errors. In about an hour. But the import and option to use PCU multiprocessing is good.
The overall score
- ArchiCAD & BricsCAD BIM (undecided due to computer specs)
- BlenderBIM (FOSS!)
- Nemetschek Allplan
- Autodesk Revit
Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture (did not finish)
Other flavors?

No it is on my personal drive
@Hans_Lammerts Just a bump that the BlenderBIM Add-on has highly prioritized import/export times as well as data fidelity in the latest release. Imports are now twice as fast on average compared to before, and exports are much faster - a 350MB model will export in 20 seconds, for example. The foundation has also been laid so that in the future in theory we may even have zero export time - it may be live via a central server in the same way that you can edit cloud docs and everything is always saved live.
At the same time, as @jwouellette talked about the importance of data fidelity, the BlenderBIM Add-on now has ZERO data loss for all imports and exports. There is no translation loss, no mappings which need to be checked, no IFC+native… IFC is truly the 100% native format.
I think this is an exciting time for the industry, as we can now start treating IFC as truly native, not as some translation job that we cannot fully trust and need to continuously audit and certify.
