4.1.7.1.13.2 Surface Sectioned Geometry

The Surface Sectioned Geometry is the representation for elements having a 'Surface' representation, where the surface is specified using two or more open profiles that are swept between specified positions along the directrix, e.g. for defining the upper boundary of an IfcCourse.

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

The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept. In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the table below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.
