| IfcSectionedSolidHorizontal | ADDED |
An IfcSectionedSolidHorizontal is a solid model constructed by sweeping potentially varying cross sections along a curve horizontally.
The solid is generated by sweeping the CrossSections between CrossSectionPositions with linear interpolation of profile points, where the profile normal agrees with the tangent of the Directrix, the profile X axis is oriented perpendicularly to the left of the Directrix (same direction as LateralOffset at IfcDistanceExpression) as facing forward along the directrix, and the profile Y axis is oriented upwards according to FixedAxisVertical.
For sections having cross-section rotated according to a single super-elevation, IfcDerivedProfileDef may be used to indicate such rotation with each ParentProfile referring to the same underlying profile. For sections having cross-section transformed according to multiple super-elevations with points varying independently, each profile may be of a different instance but of same type (e.g. IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef), and may optionally have cross section points associated to string lines (“guide curves”) using IfcIndexedPolyCurve with IfcCartesianPointList2DLabelled.
Figure 348 illustrates four girders of a bridge having a constant parameterized profile, two guardrails having a constant arbitrary profile (one of them mirrored), and a bridge deck having a variable arbitrary profile.
