8.9.3.47 IfcPlane

8.9.3.47.1 Semantic definition

The planar surface is an unbounded surface in the direction of x and y. Bounded planar surfaces are defined by using a subtype of IfcBoundedSurface with BasisSurface being a plane.

The inherited attributes are interpreted as

SELF\IfcElementarySurface.Position defines the location and orientation of the planar surface.
SELF\IfcElementarySurface.Position.Location defines a point on the planar surface.
SELF\IfcElementarySurface.Position.P[3] defines the normal of the planar surface.

8.9.3.47.3 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. IFC2x3-CHANGE The inverse attribute LayerAssignments has been added. IFC4-CHANGE The inverse attribute LayerAssignment has been restricted to max 1. Upward compatibility for file based exchange is guaranteed.
	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. IFC2x3-CHANGE The inverse attribute StyledByItem has been added.
IfcSurface (1)
*	Dim	IfcDimensionCount	This attribute is formally derived. `3` The space dimensionality of IfcSurface. It is always a three-dimensional geometric representation item. IFC4-CHANGE Derived attribute promoted from subtypes.
