6.1.3.19 IfcMemberType
6.1.3.19.1 Semantic definition
The element type IfcMemberType defines commonly shared information for occurrences of members. Members are predominately linear building elements, often forming part of a structural system. The orientation of the member (being horizontal, vertical or sloped) is not relevant to its definition (in contrary to beam and column). The set of shared information may include:
- common properties within shared property sets
- common material information
- common profile definitions
- common shape representations
It is used to define a member specification, or member style (the specific product information that is common to all occurrences of that member type). Member types may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.
Occurrences of the IfcMemberType within building models are represented by instances of IfcMember. Occurrences of the IfcMemberType within structural analysis models are represented by instances of IfcStructuralCurveMember, or its applicable subtypes.

Type Body Geometry | General |
The IfcMemberType may define the shared geometric representation for all member occurrences. The RepresentationMaps attribute refers to a list of IfcRepresentationMap's, that allow for multiple geometric representations (e.g. with IfcShapeRepresentation's having an RepresentationIdentifier 'Box', 'Axis', or 'Body'). It is only applicable if the IfcMemberType has only occurrences of type IfcMember (See geometric use definition of IfcMember for further information). |
