4.1.7.1.4.7 Body SurfaceOrSolidModel Geometry

The Body SurfaceOrSolidModel Geometry is the representation of the 3D shape of a product by surface or solid models and allows for a mixed representation.

The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation shall be used:

IfcShapeRepresentation.RepresentationIdentifier = 'Body'
IfcShapeRepresentation.RepresentationType = 'SurfaceOrSolidModel'
IfcShapeRepresentation.Items = IfcTessellateditem, IfcShellBasedSurfaceModel, IfcFaceBasedSurfaceModel, IfcSolidModel
