Entity definition

The window lining is the outer frame which enables the window to be fixed in position. The window lining is used to hold the window panels or other casements. The parameter of the IfcWindowLiningProperties define the geometrically relevant parameter of the lining.

NOTE The IfcWindowLiningProperties shall only be applied to construct the 3D shape of a window, if the attribute IfcWindowType.ParameterTakesPrecedence is set TRUE.

The IfcWindowLiningProperties are included in the set of properties of IfcWindowStyle.HasPropertySets. More information about the window lining can be included in the same set of the IfcWindowType using another IfcPropertySet for dynamic extensions.

The IfcWindowLiningProperties does not hold a geometric representation. However it defines parameters which can be used to create the shape of the window type(which is inserted by the IfcWindow into the spatial context of the project) as shown in Figure 285. The parameters at the IfcWindowLiningProperties define a standard window lining, including (if given) a mullion and a transom (for horizontal and vertical splits). The outer boundary of the lining is determined by the 'Profile' shape representation assigned to the IfcWindow, which inserts the IfcWindowType.

	The lining is applied to all faces of the opening reveal. The parameter are: LiningDepth LiningThickness LiningOffset LiningToPanelOffsetX LiningToPanelOffsetY The inner side is defined as the direction of the window panel opening operation.
	If the OperationType of the window style is DoublePanelVertical (shown) TriplePanelBottom TriplePanelTop TriplePanelLeft TriplePanelRight the following additional parameter apply: MullionThickness FirstMullionOffset measured as offset to the Z axis (in XZ plane) as a normalized ratio measure
	If the OperationType of the window type is: DoublePanelHorizontal TriplePanelBottom TriplePanelTop TriplePanelLeft TriplePanelRight the following additional parameter apply TransomThickness FirstTransomOffset measured as offset to the X axis (in XZ plane) as a normalized ratio measure
	If the OperationType of the window type is: TriplePanelVertical the following additional parameter apply: SecondMullionOffset measured as offset to the Z axis (in XZ plane) as a normalized ratio measure
	If the OperationType of the window type is: TriplePanelHorizontal the following additional parameter apply: SecondTransomOffset measured as offset to the X axis (in XZ plane) as a normalized ratio measure

HISTORY New entity in IFC2.0. Has been renamed from IfcWindowLining in IFC2x.

IFC4 CHANGE The following attributes have been added LiningOffset, LiningToPanelOffsetX, LiningToPanelOffsetY. The attribute ShapeAspectStyle is deprecated and shall no longer be used. Supertype changed to new IfcPreDefinedPropertySet.

Attribute definitions

#	Attribute	Type	Cardinality	Description	C
5	LiningDepth	IfcPositiveLengthMeasure	[0:1]	Depth of the window lining (dimension measured perpendicular to window elevation plane).	X
6	LiningThickness	IfcNonNegativeLengthMeasure	[0:1]	Thickness of the window lining as explained in the figure above. If LiningThickness value is 0. (zero) it denotes a window without a lining (all other lining parameters shall be set to NIL in this case). If the LiningThickness is NIL it denotes that the value is not available.	X
7	TransomThickness	IfcNonNegativeLengthMeasure	[0:1]	Thickness of the transom (horizontal separator of window panels within a window), measured parallel to the window elevation plane. The transom is part of the lining and the transom depth is assumed to be identical to the lining depth. If the TransomThickness is set to zero (and the TransomOffset set to a positive length), then the window is divided vertically without a physical divider.	X
8	MullionThickness	IfcNonNegativeLengthMeasure	[0:1]	Thickness of the mullion (vertical separator of window panels within a window), measured parallel to the window elevation plane. The mullion is part of the lining and the mullion depth is assumed to be identical to the lining depth. If the MullionThickness is set to zero (and the MullionOffset set to a positive length), then the window is divided horizontally without a physical divider.	X
9	FirstTransomOffset	IfcNormalisedRatioMeasure	[0:1]	Offset of the transom centerline, measured along the z-axis of the window placement co-ordinate system. An offset value = 0.5 indicates that the transom is positioned in the middle of the window.	X
10	SecondTransomOffset	IfcNormalisedRatioMeasure	[0:1]	Offset of the transom centerline for the second transom, measured along the x-axis of the window placement co-ordinate system. An offset value = 0.666 indicates that the second transom is positioned at two/third of the window.	X
11	FirstMullionOffset	IfcNormalisedRatioMeasure	[0:1]	Offset of the mullion centerline, measured along the x-axis of the window placement co-ordinate system. An offset value = 0.5 indicates that the mullion is positioned in the middle of the window.	X
12	SecondMullionOffset	IfcNormalisedRatioMeasure	[0:1]	Offset of the mullion centerline for the second mullion, measured along the x-axis of the window placement co-ordinate system. An offset value = 0.666 indicates that the second mullion is positioned at two/third of the window.	X
13	ShapeAspectStyle	IfcShapeAspect	[0:1]	Optional link to a shape aspect definition, which points to the part of the geometric representation of the window style, which is used to represent the lining.	X
14	LiningOffset	IfcLengthMeasure	[0:1]	Offset of the window lining. The offset is given as distance along the y axis of the local placement (perpendicular to the window plane).	X
15	LiningToPanelOffsetX	IfcLengthMeasure	[0:1]	Offset between the lining and the window panel measured along the x-axis of the local placement. Should be smaller or equal to the LiningThickness.	X
16	LiningToPanelOffsetY	IfcLengthMeasure	[0:1]	Offset between the lining and the window panel measured along the y-axis of the local placement. Should be smaller or equal to the IfcWindowPanelProperties.PanelThickness.	X

Formal Propositions

Rule	Description
WR31	Either both parameter, LiningDepth and LiningThickness are given, or only the LiningThickness, then the LiningDepth is variable. It is not valid to only assert the LiningDepth. NOTE A LiningDepth with NIL ($) value indicates a window style with a lining equal to the wall thickness. IFC4 CHANGE Rule corrected.
WR32	Either both parameter, FirstTransomOffset and SecondTransomOffset are given, or only the FirstTransomOffset, or none of both. It is not valid to only assert the SecondTransomOffset.
WR33	Either both parameter, FirstMullionOffset and SecondMullionOffset are given, or only the FirstMullionOffset, or none of both. It is not valid to only assert the SecondMullionOffset.
WR34	The IfcWindowPanelProperties shall only be used in the context of an IfcDoorType. NOTE The deprecated entity IfcWindowStyle is applicable as well.
