8.9.3.12.1 Semantic definition

An IfcCartesianPoint defines a point by coordinates in an orthogonal, right-handed Cartesian coordinate system. For the purpose of this specification only two and three dimensional Cartesian points are used.

8.9.3.12.3 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. IFC2x3-CHANGE The inverse attribute LayerAssignments has been added. IFC4-CHANGE The inverse attribute LayerAssignment has been restricted to max 1. Upward compatibility for file based exchange is guaranteed.
	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. IFC2x3-CHANGE The inverse attribute StyledByItem has been added.
IfcPoint (1)
*	Dim	IfcDimensionCount	This attribute is formally derived. `IfcPointDim(SELF)` The space dimensionality of this abstract class, handled by a function specific for concrete subtypes. Determined by the number of coordinate components in case of IfcCartesianPoint or by the dimensionality of the basis curve or surface in other cases.

IfcCartesianPoint (1)
1	Coordinates	LIST [1:3] OF IfcLengthMeasure	The first, second, and third coordinate of the point location. If placed in a two or three dimensional rectangular Cartesian coordinate system, Coordinates[1] is the X coordinate, Coordinates[2] is the Y coordinate, and Coordinates[3] is the Z coordinate.
