Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

NOTE Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
A subedge is an edge whose domain is a connected portion of the domain of an existing edge. The topological constraints on a subedge are the same as those on an edge.

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

HISTORY New entity in IFC2x2.

Informal Propositions:

The domain of the subedge is formally defined to be the domain of the parent edge, as trimmed by the subedge start vertex and subedge end vertex.
The start vertex and end vertex shall be within the union of the domains of the vertices of the parent edge and the domain of the parent edge.
