Could you build this?

No A Blender-style BIM authoring tool needs a geometry kernel, IFC schema read/write across three versions, GPU rendering, and architectural drawing generation, which requires deep specialist engineering.

What it would actually take: A real version would need a native core (the site cites Rust) with a B-rep or mesh modeling kernel, an IFC parser and writer (IFC2X3, IFC4, IFC4X3) built on the buildingSMART schemas, and a GPU renderer for live 3D and section views. It also needs architectural drawing logic for plans, sections, elevations, sheets, and schedules. This takes a team of graphics, geometry, and BIM domain experts and several years.
