They are separated from other elements, since they are dealt with in separate AEC processes. The IfcBuildingElement utilizes the following capabilities mainly through inverse referenced to objectified relationships: * Grouping - being part of a logical group of objects * Classification - assigned reference to an external classification * Documentation - assigned reference to an external documentation * Type - reference to the product type information for the element occurrence * Properties - reference to all attached properties, including quantities * Cost control - reference to cost elements associated with this building element * Work processes - reference to work tasks, in which this building element is used * Aggregation - aggregated together with other elements to form an aggregate * Connection - connectivity to other elements, including the definition of the joint * Ports - information, whether the building element has ports for system connections * Realization - information, whether the building element is used to realize a connection * Assignment to spatial structure - hierarchical assignment to the right level within the spatial structure * Material - assignment of material used by this building element * Boundary - provision of space boundaries through this building element * Opening - information, whether the building element includes openings * Projection - information, whether the building element has projections * Filling - information whether the building element is used to fill openings - Quantity Use Definition - The quantities relating to the IfcBuildingElement are defined by the IfcElementQuantity and attached by the IfcRelDefinesByProperties. A detailed specification for individual quantities is introduced at the level of subtypes of IfcBuildingElement. - Geometry Use Definitions - The geometric representation of any IfcBuildingElement is given by the IfcProductDefinitionShape and IfcLocalPlacement allowing multiple geometric representations. - Local Placement - The local placement for any IfcBuildingElement is defined in its supertype IfcProduct. It is defined by the IfcLocalPlacement, which defines the local coordinate system that is referenced by all geometric representations. Further constraints are defined at the level of its subtypes. - Bounding Box Representation - Any IfcBuildingElement can be represented as a bounding box, which shows the maximum extend of the body within the coordinated system established by the IfcLocalPlacement. The bounding box representation is the simplest geometric representation available. The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation is used: * RepresentationIdentifier : 'Body' * RepresentationType : 'BoundingBox' The bounding box representation is given by an IfcShapeRepresentation, which includes a single item, an IfcBoundingBox. - SurfaceModel Representation - Any IfcBuildingElement (so far no further constraints are defined at the level of its subtypes) can be represented as a single or multiple surface models, based on either shell or face based models. The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation is used: * RepresentationIdentifier : 'Body' * RepresentationType : 'SurfaceModel' In some cases it can be useful to also expose a simple representation as a bounding box representation of the same complex shape. The surface model representation is given by an IfcShapeRepresentation, which includes a single item, which is either: * IfcShellBasedSurfaceModel * IfcFaceBasedSurfaceModel - Brep Representation - Any IfcBuildingElement (so far no further constraints are defined at the level of its subtypes) can be represented as a single or multiple Boundary Representation elements (which are restricted to faceted Brep with or without voids). The Brep representation allows for the representation of complex element shape. The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation is used: * RepresentationIdentifier : 'Body' * RepresentationType : 'Brep' In some cases it can be useful to also expose a simple representation as a bounding box representation of the same complex shape. TheBrep representation is given by an IfcShapeRepresentation, which includes one or more items, all of type IfcManifoldSolidBrep. - MappedRepresentation - Any IfcBuildingElement (so far no further constraints are defined at the level of its subtypes) can be represented using the MappedRepresentation. This is supported as it allows for reusing the geometry definition of a type at all occurrences of the same type. The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation are used: * RepresentationIdentifier : 'Body' * RepresentationType : 'MappedRepresentation' */ class IFC2X2_FINAL_EXPORT IfcBuildingElement : public IfcElement { //DOM-IGNORE-BEGIN OD_EXP_NON_INSTANTIABLE_DECLARE_MEMBERS(OdIfc2x2_final::IfcBuildingElement); //DOM-IGNORE-END public: /** \details Returns a type of a class instance. \returns Pointer to the OdDAI::Entity type that determines an entity definition within a schema. */ virtual OdDAI::Entity* getInstanceType() const override; /** \details Checks whether the specified instance is the object derived from or belongs to this class. \param entityType [in] Entity to check. \returns true if the specified instance is the object derived from or belongs to this class, false otherwise. */ virtual bool isKindOf(OdIfc::OdIfcEntityType entityType) const override; /** \details Returns the type of this entity. \returns A value of the OdIfc::OdIfcEntityType type that represents type of this entity. */ virtual OdIfc::OdIfcEntityType type() const override; }; /** \details A data type that represents a smart pointer to a IfcBuildingElement object. */ typedef OdSmartPtr IfcBuildingElementPtr; } // namespace #include "TD_PackPop.h" #endif // _IFC2X2_FINAL_IFCBUILDINGELEMENT_AUTO_IMPL_H
