8.8.3.20.3 Attributes

# 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.

IfcGeometricSet (2)
1 Elements SET [1:?] OF IfcGeometricSetSelect

The geometric elements which make up the geometric set, these may be points, curves or surfaces; but are required to be of the same coordinate space dimensionality.
* Dim IfcDimensionCount

This attribute is formally derived. 

Elements[1].Dim

The space dimensionality of this class, it is identical to the first element in the set. A where rule ensures that all elements have the same dimensionality.
