8.9.3.37 IfcLine
8.9.3.37.1 Semantic definition
The IfcLine is an unbounded line parameterized by an IfcCartesianPoint and an IfcVector. The magnitude of the IfcVector affects the parameterization of the line, but it does not bound the line.
P = Pnt V = Dir λ(u) = P + uV and the parametric range is: -∞ < u < ∞

8.9.3.37.3 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. |
|
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. |
|
IfcCurve (1) | |||
* | Dim | IfcDimensionCount |
This attribute is formally derived.
The space dimensionality of this abstract class, defined differently for all subtypes, i.e. for IfcLine, IfcConic and IfcBoundedCurve. |

IfcLine (2) | |||
1 | Pnt | IfcCartesianPoint |
The location of the IfcLine. |
2 | Dir | IfcVector |
The direction of the IfcLine, the magnitude and units of Dir affect the parameterization of the line. |
8.9.3.37.4 Formal propositions
Name | Description |
---|---|
SameDim |
The dimensionality of the Pnt, provided by IfcCartesianPoint, shall be the same as the dimensionality of the Dir, provided by IfcVector. |
