8.9.3.15.1 Semantic definition

A Cartesian transformation operator 2d non uniform defines a geometric transformation in two-dimensional space composed of translation, rotation, mirroring and non uniform scaling. Non uniform scaling is given by two different scaling factors:

If the Scale factor (at supertype IfcCartesianTransformationOperator) is omitted, it defaults to 1.0. If the Scale2 factor is omitted, it defaults to the value of Scale (the x axis scale factor).

IfcRepresentationItem (2)

IfcCartesianTransformationOperator2D (1)
Click to show 9 hidden inherited attributes
IfcCartesianTransformationOperator2DnonUniform (2)
5 Scale2 OPTIONAL IfcReal

The scaling value specified for the transformation along the axis 2. This is normally the y scale factor.

* Scl2 IfcReal

This attribute is formally derived.

NVL(Scale2, SELF\IfcCartesianTransformationOperator.Scl)

The derived scale S(2) of the transformation along the axis 2 (normally the y axis), equal to Scale2 if that exists, or equal to the derived Scl1 (normally the x axis scale factor) otherwise.

Name Description
Scale2GreaterZero

The derived scaling Scl2 shall be greater than zero.

Last change: Improve definition split (#876) * bring back headers headers were previously removed by mistake, now bringing them back * add new lines and rename the tag add the word 'short' in it * unify newlines make exactly one newline before and two after the tag * resolving typos Because bringing back headers required to go back in time to previous version, I'm now re-resolving the issues: #861, #860, #856 by ArturTomczak on 7/16/2024, 2:07:28 PM
