An IfcObjective captures qualitative information for an objective-based constraint.
IfcObjective is a subtype of IfcConstraint and may be associated with any subtype of IfcRoot through the IfcRelAssociatesConstraint relationship in the IfcControlExtension schema, or may be associated with IfcProperty by IfcResourceConstraintRelationship.
The aim of IfcObjective is to specify the purpose for which the constraint is applied and to capture the benchmark metrics of the constraint.
HISTORY New entity in IFC2.0.
IFC4 CHANGE Attribute BenchmarkValues modified to be a LIST of IfcConstraint, attribute ResultValues replaced with IfcLogicalOperatorEnum.
