Entity definition

An IfcCartesianTransformationOperator defines a geometric transformation in three-dimensional space.

NOTE  Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
A Cartesian transformation operator 3d defines a geometric transformation in three-dimensional space composed of translation, rotation, mirroring and uniform scaling. The list of normalized vectors u defines the columns of an orthogonal matrix T. These vectors are computed from the direction attributes axis1, axis2 and axis3 by the base axis function. If |T|= -1, the transformation includes mirroring.
NOTE  Entity adapted from cartesian_transformation_operator_3d defined in ISO10303-42.
HISTORY  New entity in IFC2x.
