8.9.3.29 IfcCylindricalSurface

8.9.3.29.1 Semantic definition

The cylindrical surface is a surface unbounded in the direction of z. Bounded cylindrical surfaces are defined by using a subtype of IfcBoundedSurface with BasisSurface being a cylindrical surface.

The inherited attributes are interpreted as

  • SELF\IfcElementarySurface.Position defines the location and orientation of the cylindrical surface.
  • SELF\IfcElementarySurface.Position.Location definesd a point on the axis of the cylindrical surface.
  • SELF\IfcElementarySurface.Position.P[3] defines the direction of the axis of the cylindrical surface.

# Attribute Type Description
IfcRepresentationItem (2)
LayerAssignment SET [0:1] OF IfcPresentationLayerAssignment FOR AssignedItems

Assignment of the representation item to a single or multiple layer(s). The LayerAssignments can override a LayerAssignments of the IfcRepresentation it is used within the list of Items.

StyledByItem SET [0:1] OF IfcStyledItem FOR Item

Reference to the IfcStyledItem that provides presentation information to the representation, e.g. a curve style, including colour and thickness to a geometric curve.

IfcSurface (1)
* Dim IfcDimensionCount

This attribute is formally derived.

3

The space dimensionality of IfcSurface. It is always a three-dimensional geometric representation item.

IfcElementarySurface (1)
1 Position IfcAxis2Placement3D
