8.15.3.1 IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef
8.15.3.1.1 Semantic definition
The closed profile IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef defines an arbitrary two-dimensional profile for the use within the swept surface geometry, the swept area solid or a sectioned spine. It is given by an outer boundary from which the surface or solid can be constructed.
Informal Propositions
- The OuterCurve has to be a closed curve.
- The OuterCurve shall not intersect.
Figure 8.15.3.1.A illustrates the arbitrary closed profile definition. The OuterCurve is defined in the underlying coordinate system. The underlying coordinate system is defined by the swept surface or swept area solid that uses the profile definition. It is the xy plane of either:
- IfcSweptSurface.Position
- IfcSweptAreaSolid.Position
or in case of sectioned spines the xy plane of each list member of IfcSectionedSpine.CrossSectionPositions. The OuterCurve attribute defines a two dimensional closed bounded curve.

8.15.3.1.3 Attributes
# | Attribute | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
IfcProfileDef (4) | |||
1 | ProfileType | IfcProfileTypeEnum |
Defines the type of geometry into which this profile definition shall be resolved, either a curve or a surface area. In case of curve the profile should be referenced by a swept surface, in case of area the profile should be referenced by a swept area solid. |
2 | ProfileName | OPTIONAL IfcLabel |
Human-readable name of the profile, for example according to a standard profile table. As noted above, machine-readable standardized profile designations should be provided in IfcExternalReference.ItemReference. |
HasExternalReference | SET [0:?] OF IfcExternalReferenceRelationship FOR RelatedResourceObjects |
Reference to external information, e.g. library, classification, or document information, which is associated with the profile. |
|
HasProperties | SET [0:?] OF IfcProfileProperties FOR ProfileDefinition |
Additional properties of the profile, for example mechanical properties. |

3 | OuterCurve | IfcCurve |
Bounded curve, defining the outer boundaries of the arbitrary profile. |
8.15.3.1.4 Formal propositions
Name | Description |
---|---|
WR1 |
The curve used for the outer curve definition shall have the dimensionality of 2. |
|
|
WR2 |
The outer curve shall not be of type IfcLine as IfcLine is not a closed curve. |
|
|
WR3 |
The outer curve shall not be of type IfcOffsetCurve2D as it should not be defined as an offset of another curve. |
