Create 'Group' upon import #138

Open theoryshaw opened 4 years ago

I see the exporter creates IFCGroups from Revit Groups.

Would it be possible to recreate these Revit Groups upon import of this same IFC?

It would be possible. yes, although round-tripping Revit data via export/open IFC is a lower priority for us at the moment.

Thanks @AngelVelezSosa. Do you think it would be relatively easy to implement?

Unsure - I don't know the Group API all that well. Keep in mind that IFC groups don't have instances, so you'd have a separate group for each group instance.
