8.9.3.59 IfcRepresentationMap

8.9.3.59.1 Semantic definition

An IfcRepresentationMap defines the base definition (also referred to as block, cell or macro) called MappedRepresentation within the MappingOrigin. The MappingOrigin defines the coordinate system in which the MappedRepresentation is defined.

The RepresentationMap is used through an IfcMappeditem in one or several IfcShapeRepresentation's. An Cartesian transformation operator can be applied to transform the MappedRepresentation into the placement coordinate system of the shape representation. The transformation of the representation map is restricted to be a Cartesian transformation mapping (translation, rotation, mirroring and scaling).

#	Attribute	Type	Description
IfcRepresentationMap (4)
1	MappingOrigin	IfcAxis2Placement	An axis2 placement that defines the position about which the mapped representation is mapped.
2	MappedRepresentation	IfcRepresentation	A representation that is mapped to at least one mapped item.
	HasShapeAspects	SET [0:?] OF IfcShapeAspect FOR PartOfProductDefinitionShape	Reference to the shape aspect that represents part of the shape or its feature distinctively. IFC4-CHANGE Inverse attribute added.
	MapUsage	SET [0:?] OF IfcMappedItem FOR MappingSource	No description available.
