4.1.2.6.1 Material Constituent Set
A material constituent set may have its constituents associated to arbitrary geometry using IfcShapeAspect IfcShapeAspect
A window's geometric representation may be split into two items: the frame, and the glazing. Each representation item would be given a name that correlates with the name of the material constituent.
The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept.
In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the table below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.
