Type definition

This enumeration defines the basic ways to describe how doors operate, as shown in Figure 180. It combines the partitioning of the door into a single or multiple door panels and the operation types of that panels.

In the most common case of swinging doors the IfcDoorTypeOperationEnum defined the hinge side (left hing or right hung) and the opening direction (opening to the left, opening to the right). Whether the door opens inwards or outwards is determined by the local coordinate system of the IfcDoor, or IfcDoorStandardCase.

NOTE  There are different definitions in various countries on what a left opening or left hung or left swing door is (same for right). Therefore the IFC definition terms may derivate from the local standard and may need to be mapped appropriately.
HISTORY  New Enumeration in IFC4.
IFC4 CHANGE  The new IfcDoorTypeOperationEnum replaces the use of IfcDoorStyleOperationEnum that is deprecated from IFC4 onwards.

SINGLE_SWING_LEFT Door with one panel that opens (swings) to the left. The hinges are on the left side as viewed in the direction of the positive y-axis.

NOTE

  1. Figures are shown in the ground view.
  2. Figures (symbolic representation) depend on the national building code.
  3. These figures are only shown as illustrations, the actual representation in the ground view might differ.
  4. Open to the outside is declared as open into the direction of the positive y-axis, determined by the ObjectPlacement at IfcDoor
  5. The location of the panel relative to the wall thickness is defined by the ObjectPlacement at IfcDoor, and the IfcDoorLiningProperties.LiningOffset parameter.
