Tool with similar IFC processing capabilties as BIMServer

Question

I used BIMServer to create datamodels out of IFC elements. Due to issues with it I need to switch the tool I process the IFC file with. The big pro on BIMServer was that I did not need to know how the geometry is created and did not need to generate it myself. I was provided with vertices, indices and normals. The API provided me a way to recursively transform the vertices so that I get the absolute coordinate.

I am looking for a tool that has the same capabilities. What are the alternatives?

The question is not about IFC export or import, it is about processing the data inside it — Dakson, Oct 18 '18 at 19:34

BIMServer uses IFCOpenShell to generate the geometry - you could use that directly.

Other open source projects that can generate tesselated geometry from IFC are xBim and IfcPlusPlus.
