8.18.1 Schema definition

This schema defines the representation of shape and topology as important definitional properties for products defined within the IFC Object Model. The representations characterize certain properties of a product, and any product can be defined by zero, one, or many of those properties. The schema defines two ways to represent definitional properties of products:

  • topological representation
  • geometric shape representation
  • geo referencing, providing the real map coordinate location of an element in accord with GIS practice,

The geometric shape representation allows for

  • multiple shape representations for the same product definition shape of a product
  • separate shape representations for components or parts of the product definition shape by using shape aspects
