IfcRepresentationItem
LayerAssignmentIfcPresentationLayerAssignment
@AssignedItems
S[0:1]Assignment of the representation item to a single or multiple layer(s). The LayerAssignments can override a LayerAssignments of the IfcRepresentation it is used within the list of Items.
IFC2x3 CHANGE  The inverse attribute LayerAssignments has been added.
IFC4 CHANGE  The inverse attribute LayerAssignment has been restricted to max 1. Upward compatibility for file based exchange is guaranteed.
X
StyledByItemIfcStyledItem
@Item
S[0:1]Reference to the IfcStyledItem that provides presentation information to the representation, e.g. a curve style, including colour and thickness to a geometric curve.
IFC2x3 CHANGE  The inverse attribute StyledByItem has been added.

IfcCurve
Dim
:=IfcCurveDim(SELF)
IfcDimensionCountThe space dimensionality of this abstract class, defined differently for all subtypes, i.e. for IfcLine, IfcConic and IfcBoundedCurve. X
IfcBoundedCurve
IfcCurveSegment2D
1StartPointIfcCartesianPoint The start point of the 2D curve as x/y coordinates defined by a 2D Cartesian point.X
2StartDirectionIfcPlaneAngleMeasure The direction of the tangent at the start point. Direction value 0. indicates a curve with a start tangent along the positive x-axis. Values increases counter-clockwise, and decreases clockwise. Depending on the plane angle unit, either degree or radians, the sensible range is -360° ≤ n ≤ 360° (or -2π ≤ n ≤ 2π). Values larger then a full circle (>|360°| or >|2 π| shall not be used.X
3SegmentLengthIfcPositiveLengthMeasure The length along the curveX
