8.9.3.3 IfcAxis2Placement3D
8.9.3.3.1 Semantic definition
The IfcAxis2Placement3D provides location and orientations to place items in a three-dimensional space. The attribute Axis defines the Z direction, RefDirection the X direction. The Y direction is derived.
If the attribute values for Axis and RefDirection are not given, the placement defaults to P[1] (x-axis) as [1.,0.,0.], P[2] (y-axis) as [0.,1.,0.] and P[3] (z-axis) as [0.,0.,1.].
Figure 8.9.3.3.A illustrates the definition of the IfcAxis2Placement3D within the three-dimensional coordinate system.

8.9.3.3.3 Attributes
# | Attribute | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
IfcRepresentationItem (2) | |||
LayerAssignment | SET [0:1] OF IfcPresentationLayerAssignment FOR AssignedItems |
Assignment of the representation item to a single or multiple layer(s). The LayerAssignments can override a LayerAssignments of the IfcRepresentation it is used within the list of Items. |
|
StyledByItem | SET [0:1] OF IfcStyledItem FOR Item |
Reference to the IfcStyledItem that provides presentation information to the representation, e.g. a curve style, including colour and thickness to a geometric curve. |
|
IfcPlacement (2) | |||
1 | Location | IfcPoint |
The geometric position of a reference point, such as the center of a circle, of the item to be located. |
* | Dim | IfcDimensionCount |
This attribute is formally derived.
The space dimensionality of this class, derived from the dimensionality of the location. |

IfcAxis2Placement3D (3) | |||
2 | Axis | OPTIONAL IfcDirection |
The exact direction of the local Z Axis. |
3 | RefDirection | OPTIONAL IfcDirection |
The direction used to determine the direction of the local X Axis. If necessary an adjustment is made to maintain orthogonality to the Axis direction. If Axis and/or RefDirection is omitted, these directions are taken from the geometric coordinate system. |
* | P | LIST [3:3] OF IfcDirection |
This attribute is formally derived.
The normalized directions of the placement X Axis (P[1]) and the placement Y Axis (P[2]) and the placement Z Axis (P[3]). |
8.9.3.3.4 Formal propositions
Name | Description |
---|---|
AxisAndRefDirProvision |
Either both, Axis and RefDirection are not given and therefore defaulted, or both shall be given. |
|
|
AxisIs3D |
The Axis when given should only reference a three-dimensional IfcDirection. |
|
|
AxisToRefDirPosition |
The Axis and RefDirection shall not be parallel or anti-parallel. |
|
|
LocationIs3D |
The dimensionality of the placement location shall be 3. |
|
|
LocationIsCP |
No description available. |
|
|
RefDirIs3D |
The RefDirection when given should only reference a three-dimensional IfcDirection. |
