The easiest way is to reuse components from XbimWindowsUI project. All components are available as a nuget package. Once you add the package, you can follow the SO answer you link in the question.

For reference:

<xbim:DrawingControl3D
    Grid.Column="1"
    Grid.Row="1"
    x:Name="DrawingControl"
    SelectedEntity="{Binding Path=SelectedItem, ElementName=MainWindow, Mode=TwoWay}"
    Model="{Binding}"
    Focusable="True"
    MouseMove="DrawingControl_MouseMove">
    <xbim:DrawingControl3D.Background>
        <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" MappingMode="RelativeToBoundingBox" StartPoint="0.5,0">
            <GradientStop Color="#D1CBC4" Offset="1"/>
            <GradientStop Color="#C8FCFF"/>
        </LinearGradientBrush>
    </xbim:DrawingControl3D.Background>
</xbim:DrawingControl3D>

IfcStore ifcModel = IfcStore.Open("ifcFile.ifc");

var context = new Xbim3DModelContext(ifcModel);
context.CreateContext();

DrawingControl.Model = ifcModel;
DrawingControl.LoadGeometry(ifcModel);
