If I understand correctly you ask whether if you export multi-segment Beams/Columns as IFC, open them in Revit, then export the file from Revit as IFC and open that in Archicad, will those Beams/Columns come in as multi-segmented parametric elements?
The answer is no, and this should not be expected. File formats are so different that it is impossible to exchange geometry without data loss. This is the holy girl that will probably never happen.
The recommended workflow that works very well is to use IFC files received from others only as Reference Models and model everything that belongs to you in your own application. So if avishiplu exports his Beams and Columns as IFC, the Revit using engineer should import that, use it as a Reference, but still model the structural elements in Revit to create the structural model. Then he can export his structural model as IFC, which avishiplu can import into Archicad and use as a Reference Model.
