Entity definition

An IfcSweptSurface is a surface defined by sweeping a curve. The swept surface is defined by a open or closed curve, represented by a subtype if IfcProfileDef, that is provided as a two-dimensional curve on an implicit plane, and by the sweeping operation.

The optional Position coordinate system allows for re-positioning the resulting swept surface relative to the object coordinate system.

NOTE  Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
A swept surface is one that is constructed by sweeping a curve along another curve.
NOTE  Entity adapted from swept_surface defined in ISO 10303-42.
HISTORY  New entity in IFC2x.
IFC4 CHANGE  The attribute Position has been changed to OPTIONAL with upward compatibility for file-based exchange.
Attribute definitions
#AttributeTypeCardinalityDescription C
1SweptCurveIfcProfileDef[1:1] The curve to be swept in defining the surface. The curve is defined as a profile within the position coordinate system.X
2PositionIfcAxis2Placement3D[0:1] Position coordinate system for the swept surface, provided by a profile definition within the XY plane of the Position coordinates. If not provided, the position of the profile being swept is determined by the object coordinate system. In this case, the swept surface is not repositioned. X
