4.8.2.9.8 Body CSG Geometry

The Body CSG Geometry is the representation of the 3D shape of a product by Constructive Solid Geometry models.

The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation shall be used:

NOTE  The Items IfcBooleanResult and IfcPrimitive3D shall also be allowed for compatibility with previous releases of the standard.
