6.1.3.16 IfcDoor
6.1.3.16.1 Semantic definition
The door is a built element that is predominately used to provide controlled access for people, goods, animals and vehicles. It includes constructions with hinged, pivoted, sliding, and additionally revolving and folding operations. A door can:
- be a "free standing" door, contained in an IfcSpatialElement such as an IfcBuildingStorey.
- fill an opening, typically in a wall. The door will then have a FillsVoids attribute which uses the IfcRelFillsElement relationship to relate the IfcDoor with the IfcOpeningElement;
- be part of an element assembly, typically an IfcCurtainWall. The door will then have a Decomposes attribute which uses the the IfcRelAggregates relationship to relate the door with the assembly of elements;
There are two main representations for door occurrences:
- IfcDoor entities that have a 3D rectangle 'Profile' shape representation defined. This profile can then be used to parametrically generate the geometry of a door. If not provided, the profile of the IfcOpeningElement can be used if the door fills an opening. The parameters are specified on the relating IfcDoorType that references IfcDoorLiningProperties and IfcDoorPanelProperties for each panel in the door;
- IfcDoor entities that are not parametrically generated and have only 'Brep', or 'SurfaceModel' geometry.
In addition, an IfcDoor may commonly include a 'FootPrint' representation defining the 2D shape of the door and its swing.
The parameters of a door are defined by both the IfcDoor occurrence and its IfcDoorType. The IfcDoor specifies:
- the door width and height
- the door opening direction (by the positive y-axis of the ObjectPlacement)
The IfcDoorType specifies parameters which are common to all of its occurrences of IfcDoor:
- the operation type (single swing, double swing, revolving, etc.)
- the door hinge side (by using two different styles for right and left opening doors)
- the particular attributes for the lining by the IfcDoorLiningProperties
- the particular attributes for the panels by the IfcDoorPanelProperties

Door Attributes | General |
The opening direction is determined by the local placement of IfcDoor and the OperationType of the IfcDoorType. The IfcDoorTypeOperationEnum defines the general layout of the door type and its symbolic presentation. Depending on the enumerator, the appropriate instances of IfcDoorLiningProperties and IfcDoorPanelProperties are attached in the list of HasPropertySets. The IfcDoorTypeOperationEnum mainly determines the hinge side (left hung, or right hung), the operation (swinging, sliding, folding, etc.) and the number of panels. There are different definitions in various countries on what a left opening or left hung or left swing door is (same for right). Therefore the IFC definition may deviate from the local standard and needs to be mapped appropriately. Example mappings are shown in Table 6.1.3.16.M, where it assumes that the 'inside/private/primary' space is above (top in the pictures) and the 'outside/public/secondary' space is below (bottom in the pictures).

Profile 3D Geometry | General |
The door profile is represented by a three-dimensional closed curve lying in the xz plane. The profile is used to apply the parameters of a parametric door representation. The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation shall be used:
The following additional constraints apply to the 'Profile' representation type:
Figure 6.1.3.16.H illustrates applying the door lining parameters to the door profile shape representation. The profile defines the outer boundary to which the door lining parameters relate as:

Spatial Containment | General |
The IfcDoor, as any subtype of IfcBuiltElement, may participate alternatively in one of the two different containment relationships:
The IfcDoor may also be connected to the IfcOpeningElement in which it is placed as a filler. In this case, the spatial containment relationship shall be provided, see Figure 6.1.3.16.I. ![]() Even if the IfcDoor is a filling of an opening established by IfcRelFillsElement, it must also be contained in the spatial structure by IfcRelContainedInSpatialStructure. |
