Annex E Examples - LinearPlacement_1

Example overview

---

Intent

This scenario is a sample for local and linear placements along an alignment curve. An IfcLinearPlacement defines a point in space in dependency to a referenced space curve (often IfcAlignmentCurve). The euclidian coordinates can be calculated out of the station/referent along the given alignment curve and related offsets in longitudinal, lateral, and vertical direction. The sample contains an IfcBuildingElementProxy product represented by a cuboid. This element is positioned in several ways: - IfcLocalPlacement: the Euclidian points are directly given by x, y, and z-value. - IfcLinearPlacement: the position is defined by the distance along the referenced curve and the orientation (which then contains information about offsets).

Prerequisites

This scenario builds upon following other scenarios: - none

Content

This scenario builds upon following scenarios: - project structure - IfcProject - IfcSite - default unit assignment - IfcUnitAssignment - IfcSIUnit - alignment - IfcAlignment - core spatial structure - IfcProject - IfcSite

This scenario might be extended by the following concepts: - GeoRef (see Georeferencing_1 scenario) - advanced spatial structure - Element assemblies and aggregations - advanced geometry representations
