8.15.3.2 IfcArbitraryOpenProfileDef
8.15.3.2.1 Semantic definition
The open profile IfcArbitraryOpenProfileDef defines an arbitrary two-dimensional open profile for the use within the swept surface geometry. It is given by an open boundary from which the surface can be constructed.
Informal Propositions:
- The Curve has to be an open curve.
Figure 8.15.3.2.A illustrates the arbitrary open profile definition. The Curve is defined in the underlying coordinate system. The underlying coordinate system is defined by the swept surface that uses the profile definition. It is the xy plane of:
- IfcSweptSurface.Position
The Curve attribute defines a two dimensional open bounded curve.

8.15.3.2.3 Attributes
# | Attribute | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
IfcProfileDef (4) | |||
1 | ProfileType | IfcProfileTypeEnum |
Defines the type of geometry into which this profile definition shall be resolved, either a curve or a surface area. In case of curve the profile should be referenced by a swept surface, in case of area the profile should be referenced by a swept area solid. |
2 | ProfileName | OPTIONAL IfcLabel |
Human-readable name of the profile, for example according to a standard profile table. As noted above, machine-readable standardized profile designations should be provided in IfcExternalReference.ItemReference. |
HasExternalReference | SET [0:?] OF IfcExternalReferenceRelationship FOR RelatedResourceObjects |
Reference to external information, e.g. library, classification, or document information, which is associated with the profile. |
|
HasProperties | SET [0:?] OF IfcProfileProperties FOR ProfileDefinition |
Additional properties of the profile, for example mechanical properties. |
