Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

The IfcAdvancedBrepWithVoids is a specialization of an advanced B-rep which contains one or more voids in its interior. The voids are represented as closed shells which are defined so that the shell normal point into the void.

NOTE Entity adapted from advanced_brep_shape_representation defined in ISO 10303-42.

HISTORY New entity in IFC4

Informal Propositions:

Each void shell shall be disjoint from the outer shell and from every other void shell
Each void shell shall be enclosed within the outer shell but not within any other void shell. In particular the outer shell is not in the set of void shells
Each shell in the IfcManifoldSolidBrep shall be referenced only once.
All the faces of all the shells in the IfcAdvancedBrep and the IfcAdvancedBrepWithVoids.Voids shall be of type IfcAdvancedFace.
