Can you be more specific? What do you have in mind?

ICE modeling does not yet have all features exposed as nodes (e.g. booleans), so certain effects possible in Houdini may not be possible in ICE.
It only makes sense that eventually we get to control everything in ICE, particularly everything modeling related. I assume that we will get many more nodes added in the next version.

This should be possible, yes. Have you looked at some of the example videos?
Check out the fourth video (ICE Modeling - Track Bulding)

As far as I know, there aren't any tutorials yet. I've been looking at some Houdini training to get an idea of working procedurally. But I haven't done anything big like a building in ICE. Should certainly be achievable though.
