The element type IfcColumnType defines commonly shared information for occurrences of columns. The set of shared information may include:
It is used to define a column specification, or column style (i.e. the specific product information that is common to all occurrences of that column type). Column types may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.
Occurrences of the IfcColumnType within building models are represented by instances of IfcColumnStandardCase if the IfcColumnType has a single associated IfcMaterialProfileSet; otherwise they are represented by instances of IfcColumn. Occurrences of the IfcColumnType within structural analysis models are represented by instances of IfcStructuralCurveMember, or its applicable subtypes.

| IsNestedBy | IfcRelNests @RelatingObject | S[0:?] | References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is the whole within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object or object type can be nested by several other objects (occurrences or types).

| HasContext | IfcRelDeclares @RelatedDefinitions | S[0:1] | References to the context providing context information such as project unit or representation context. It should only be asserted for the uppermost non-spatial object.

It determines that this object definition is whole within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definitions can be aggregated by several other objects (occurrences or parts).

| 5 | ApplicableOccurrence | IfcIdentifier | ? |
The attribute optionally defines the data type of the occurrence object, to which the assigned type object can relate. If not present, no instruction is given to which occurrence object the type object is applicable. The following conventions are used:
EXAMPLE Refering to a furniture as applicable occurrence entity would be expressed as 'IfcFurnishingElement', refering to a brace as applicable entity would be expressed as 'IfcMember/BRACE', refering to a wall and wall standard case would be expressed as 'IfcWall, IfcWallStandardCase'. | X |

Set IFC2x3 CHANGE The attribute aggregate type has been changed from LIST to SET. | X |
| Types | IfcRelDefinesByType @RelatingType | S[0:1] | Reference to the relationship IfcRelDefinedByType and thus to those occurrence objects, which are defined by this type. | X | |

IFC4 CHANGE New inverse relationship. | X | |
| IfcElementType | |||||
| 9 | ElementType | IfcLabel | ? | The type denotes a particular type that indicates the object further. The use has to be established at the level of instantiable subtypes. In particular it holds the user defined type, if the enumeration of the attribute 'PredefinedType' is set to USERDEFINED. | X |
| IfcBuildingElementType | |||||
| IfcColumnType | |||||
| 10 | PredefinedType | IfcColumnTypeEnum | Identifies the predefined types of a column element from which the type required may be set. | X | |
Material Profile Set
The Material Profile Set concept applies to this entity.
The material of the IfcColumnType is defined by the IfcMaterialProfileSet or as fall back by IfcMaterial and attached by the IfcRelAssociatesMaterial.RelatingMaterial. It is accessible by the inverse HasAssociations relationship.
NOTE It is illegal to assign an IfcMaterial to an IfcColumnType, if there is at least one occurrences of IfcColumnStandardCase for this type.
The shared profile definition is defined by assigning an IfcMaterialProfileSet (see material use definition above). The IfcMaterialProfile refers to the subtype of IfcProfileDef that is the common profile for all column occurrence, if used. It is only applicable if the IfcColumnType has only occurrences of type IfcColumnStandardCase (see definition of IfcColumnStandardCase for further information).
NOTE The attribute ProfileName of the IfcProfileDef subtype, referenced in IfcMaterialProfile should contain a standardized profile name according to local standards. However, an additional geometric representation of the profile is necessary (e.g. as IfcExtrudedAreaSolid). An importing application is allowed to check for the existence of the profile name: in case of identifying it as a standardized name, the corresponding profile geometry and possibly other cross sectional properties can be read from a library. Otherwise the geometric representation and possible non geometric IfcProfileProperties have to be used.
Body Geometry
The Type Body Geometry concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 107.
| ||||||
Table 107 — IfcColumnType Type Body Geometry |
The IfcColumnType may define the shared geometric representation for all column occurrences. The RepresentationMaps attribute refers to a list of IfcRepresentationMap's, that allow for multiple geometric representations (e.g. with IfcShapeRepresentation's having an RepresentationIdentifier 'Box', 'Axis', or 'Body'). It is only applicable if the IfcColumnType has only occurrences of type IfcColumn (See geometric use definition of IfcColumn for further information).
NOTE If the IfcColumnType has an associated IfcMaterialProfileSet, then no shared geometric representation shall be provided.
NOTE The product shape representations are defined as RepresentationMaps (attribute of the supertype IfcTypeProduct), which get assigned by an element occurrence instance through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item[n] being an IfcMappedItem. See IfcTypeProduct for further information.
NOTE The values of attributes RepresentationIdentifier and RepresentationType of IfcShapeRepresentation are restricted in the same way as those for IfcColumn and IfcColumnStandardCase
