4.1.9.8.2 Project Representation Context 3D

The main geometric representation context that is created for 3D representations, it can be further refined using geometric representation sub contexts for specific 3D contexts.

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.
