8.14.3.9 IfcPresentationLayerAssignment
8.14.3.9.1 Semantic definition
The presentation layer assignment provides the layer name (and optionally a description and an identifier) for a collection of geometric representation items. The IfcPresentationLayerAssignment corresponds to the term "CAD Layer" and is used mainly for grouping and visibility control.
Visibility and access control and layer style assignment (colour, line style, line width) is handled by the subtype IfcPresentationLayerWithStyle.
Attribute use definition
Figure 8.14.3.9.A illustrates assignment of items by shape representation or representation item. The set of AssignedItems can either include a whole shape representation, or individual geometric representation items. If both, the IfcShapeRepresentation has a layer assignment, and an individual geometric representation item in the set of IfcShapeRepresentation.Items, then the layer assignment of the IfcGeometricRepresentationItem overrides the layer assignment of the IfcShapeRepresentation.
