## 8.8.3.6.1 Semantic definition

The IfcBoundingBox defines an orthogonal box oriented parallel to the axes of the object coordinate system in which it is defined. It is defined by a Corner being a three-dimensional Cartesian point and three length measures defining the X, Y and Z parameters of the box in the direction of the positive axes.

As shown in Figure 8.8.3.6.A, the IfcBoundingBox is defined with its own location which can be used to place the IfcBoundingBox relative to the geometric coordinate system. The IfcBoundingBox is defined by the lower left corner (Corner) and the upper right corner (XDim, YDim, ZDim measured within the parent co-ordinate system).
