4.2.2.1.1 Gradient Curve

Curve geometry based on a 2D horizontal projection as an IfcCompositeCurve referencing IfcCurveSegment occurrences. The vertical profile is represented by another independent list of IfcCurveSegment occurrences.

The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept.
