A roof is the covering of the top part of a building, it protects the building against the effects of wheather.
NOTE Definition according to ISO 6707-1: construction enclosing the building from above.
The IfcRoof shall either be represented:
NOTE In case of an IfcRoof being the assembly of all parts of the roof the aggregation is handled by the IfcRelAggregates relationship, relating an IfcRoof with the related roof elements, like slabs (represented by IfcSlab), rafters and purlins (represented by IfcBeam), or other included roofs, such as dormers (represented by IfcRoof).
NOTE Model View Definitions and implementer agreements may restrict the IfcRoof being an assembly to not have an independent shape representation, but to always require that the decomposed parts have a shape representation. In this case, at least the 'Body' geometric representations shall not be provided directly at IfcRoof if it is an assembly. The 'Body' geometric representation of the IfcRoof is then the sum of the 'Body' shape representation of the parts within the decomposition structure.

Geometric representation by aggregated elements
If the IfcRoof has components (referenced by SELF\IfcObject.IsDecomposedBy) then no independent geometric representation shall defined for the IfcRoof. The IfcRoof is then geometrically represented by the geometric representation of its components. The components are accessed via SELF\IfcObject.IsDecomposedBy[1].RelatedObjects. The geometric representations that are supported for the aggregated elements are defined with each element. See geometric use definition for IfcSlab, IfcBeam, IfcColumn, IfcBuildingElementPart and other subtypes of IfcBuildingElement.
Figure 243 illustrates roof placement, with an IfcRoof defining the local placement for all aggregated elements.
