Generate IFC entities from GDL?

Anonymous

That would be great to be able to generate IFC entities from a GDL object.
In that way we would bypass the need for GDL to generate native archicad elements.
A GDL object would be able to generate IFC slabs walls etc.
Now an object can be exported as an IFC entity, but that would be great if placed objects inside the main object( Macro calls) could also be exported as individual IFC entities.

A basic example would be a GDL generated building which could be exported as IFC to other programs. The floor slabs would be recognized as IFC slabs, the walls as walls, and so on.

Another example would be an object that place trees, or cars , or whatever:
when imported in another program this entities could be easily replaced while keeping their properties (placement scale rotation ec...)
Or each step on a stait that would be an IFC object.
