Is it possible to replace surfer2 with xeokit-bim-viewer-app? It's just that there are no tools for work in surfer2, for example, cross-section or measurement or on gemini-viewer it also uses gltf format, only there are no matadany

Another candidate is bimsurfer v3 https://github.com/opensourceBIM/BIMsurfer/ it also has sections and measurement functionality.

I'm not entirely sure about the effort to support xeokit, but I would not immediately see this in scope of our version ifc-pipeline. We have to review license differences also, not sure about MIT + AGPL. If you want to work on it, I can see if I can provide advise where needed. At least the IfcConvert bit is shared I think.

Another alternative would be that you keep ifc-pipeline as is and build your own web-based front-end around xeokit that uses the converted glTF from ifc-pipeline. Not sure if xeokit needs their own format or that it can also load relatively well from the .glb that IfcConvert provides directly.

There is no complete grouping of objects by category in the selection tree. How to solve it 2022-04-08_16-23-57 ?

There is no grouping by category, it's only by containment. The walls and furniture you highlighted are all contained in building storey "Nivel 1".
