8.9.3.23 IfcConic

ABSTRACT This definition may not be instantiated

8.9.3.23.1 Semantic definition

An IfcConic is a parameterized planar curve.

Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992 A conic is a planar curve which could be produced by intersecting a plane with a cone. A conic is defined in terms of its intrinsic geometric properties rather than being described in terms of other geometry. A conic entity always has a placement coordinate system defined by axis2_placement; the parametric representation is defined in terms of this placement coordinate system. Entity adapted from conic defined in ISO 10303-42 New entity in IFC1.0

8.9.3.23.3 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.

IfcCurveDim(SELF)

The space dimensionality of this abstract class, defined differently for all subtypes, i.e. for IfcLine, IfcConic and IfcBoundedCurve.
