8.9.3.9 IfcBoundaryCurve
8.9.3.9.1 Semantic definition
An IfcBoundaryCurve defines a curve acting as the boundary of a surface.
Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992 A boundary curve is a type of bounded curve suitable for the definition of a surface boundary. Entity adapted from boundary_curve defined in ISO10303-42. New entity in IFC4.8.9.3.9.2 Entity inheritance

8.9.3.9.3 Attributes
| # | Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| IfcRepresentationItem (2) | |||
| LayerAssignment | SET [0:1] OF IfcPresentationLayerAssignment FOR AssignedItems |
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. The inverse attribute LayerAssignments has been added. The inverse attribute LayerAssignment has been restricted to max 1. Upward compatibility for file based exchange is guaranteed. |
|
| StyledByItem | SET [0:1] OF IfcStyledItem FOR Item |
Reference to the IfcStyledItem that provides presentation information to the representation, e.g. a curve style, including colour and thickness to a geometric curve. The inverse attribute StyledByItem has been added. |
|
| IfcCurve (1) | |||
| * | Dim | IfcDimensionCount |
This attribute is formally derived. The space dimensionality of this abstract class, defined differently for all subtypes, i.e. for IfcLine, IfcConic and IfcBoundedCurve. |
| IfcCompositeCurve (4) | |||
| 1 | Segments | LIST [1:?] OF IfcSegment |
The component bounded curves, their transitions and senses. The transition attribute for the last segment defines the transition between the end of the last segment and the start of the first; this transition attribute may take the value discontinuous, which indicates an open curve. For IfcGradientCurve and IfcSegmentedReferenceCurve the segments define the interpolation between segment start and and segment end. |
| 2 | SelfIntersect | IfcLogical |
Indication of whether the curve intersects itself or not; this is for information only. |
| * | NSegments | IfcInteger |
This attribute is formally derived. The number of component curves. |
| * | ClosedCurve | IfcLogical |
This attribute is formally derived. Indication whether the curve is closed or not; this is derived from the transition code of the last segment. |

| IfcCompositeCurveOnSurface (1) | |||
| * | BasisSurface | SET [0:1] OF IfcSurface |
This attribute is formally derived. The surface on which the composite curve is defined. |
