5.4.3.12 IfcBuiltElementType

5.4.3.12.1 Semantic definition

The IfcBuiltElementType provides the type information for IfcBuiltElement occurrences.

A built element type is used to define the common properties of a certain type of built element that are applied to all occurrences of that type. It is used to define a built element specification (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type). Built element types (or the instantiable subtypes) may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The IfcBuiltElementType can be instantiated in the case when arbitrary built element types cannot be expressed by a subtype of IfcBuiltElementType.

Occurrences of subtypes of the IfcBuiltElementType are represented by instances of the appropriate subtypes of IfcBuiltElement.

The type denotes a particular type that indicates the object further. The use has to be established at the level of instantiable subtypes. In particular it holds the user defined type, if the enumeration of the attribute 'PredefinedType' is set to USERDEFINED.
