8.16.3.1 IfcComplexProperty

8.16.3.1.1 Semantic definition

IfcComplexProperty is used to define complex properties to be handled completely within a property set. The included set of properties may be a mixed or consistent collection of IfcProperty subtypes. This enables the definition of a set of properties to be included as a single 'property' entry in an IfcPropertySet. The definition of such an IfcComplexProperty can be reused in many different IfcPropertySet's.

# Attribute Type Description
IfcPropertyAbstraction (1)
HasExternalReferences SET [0:?] OF IfcExternalReferenceRelationship FOR RelatedResourceObjects

URI reference to a location with semantic definition or informative text to explain the property.

PartOfPset SET [0:?] OF IfcPropertySet FOR HasProperties

Reference to the IfcPropertySet by which the IfcProperty is referenced.

PropertyForDependance SET [0:?] OF IfcPropertyDependencyRelationship FOR DependingProperty

The property on whose value that of another property depends.

PropertyDependsOn SET [0:?] OF IfcPropertyDependencyRelationship FOR DependantProperty

The relating property on which the value of the property depends.

PartOfComplex SET [0:?] OF IfcComplexProperty FOR HasProperties

Reference to the IfcComplexProperty in which the IfcProperty is contained.

HasConstraints SET [0:?] OF IfcResourceConstraintRelationship FOR RelatedResourceObjects

User-defined constraints for the property.
