7.1.3.3 IfcPermeableCoveringProperties
7.1.3.3.1 Semantic definition
This entity is a description of a panel within a door or window (as fillers for opening) which allows for air flow. It is given by its properties (IfcPermeableCoveringProperties). A permeable covering is a casement, such as a component, fixed or opening, consisting essentially of a frame and the infilling. The infilling is normally a grill, a louver or a screen. The way of operation is defined in the operation type.
The IfcPermeableCoveringProperties are included in the list of properties (HasPropertySets) of the IfcWindowType or the IfcDoorType. More information about the permeable covering can be included in the same list of the window or door style using the IfcPropertySet for dynamic extensions. This particularly applies for additional properties for the various operation types
The IfcPermeableCoveringProperties does not hold a geometric representation. However it defines parameters which can be used to create the shape of the IfcWindowType (which is inserted by the IfcWindow into the spatial context of the project), or of the IfcDoorType (which is inserted by the IfcDoor).
The parameters at the IfcPermeableCoveringProperties define a standard permeable covering. The outer boundary of the panel is determined by the occurrence parameter assigned to the IfcWindow or IfcDoor. It has to take the lining parameter into account as well. The position of the permeable covering within the overall window or door is determined by the PanelPosition attribute.
Figure 7.1.3.3.A illustrates the panel applied to the position within the lining, as defined by the panel position attribute. The following parameters apply to that panel: FrameDepth, FrameThickness.

7.1.3.3.3 Attributes
| # | Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| IfcRoot (4) | |||
| 1 | GlobalId | IfcGloballyUniqueId |
Assignment of a globally unique identifier within the entire software world. |
| 2 | OwnerHistory | OPTIONAL IfcOwnerHistory |
Assignment of the information about the current ownership of that object, including owning actor, application, local identification and information captured about the recent changes of the object, |
| 3 | Name | OPTIONAL IfcLabel |
Optional name for use by the participating software systems or users. For some subtypes of IfcRoot the insertion of the Name attribute may be required. This would be enforced by a where rule. |
| 4 | Description | OPTIONAL IfcText |
Optional description, provided for exchanging informative comments. |
| IfcPropertyDefinition (2) | |||
| HasContext | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelDeclares FOR RelatedDefinitions |
Reference to the relationship IfcRelDeclares and thus to the IfcProject or IfcProjectLibrary. |
|
| HasAssociations | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAssociates FOR RelatedObjects |
Reference to the relationship IfcRelAssociates and thus to those externally defined concepts, like classifications, documents, or library information, which are associated to the property definition. |
|
| IfcPropertySetDefinition (3) | |||
| DefinesType | SET [0:?] OF IfcTypeObject FOR HasPropertySets |
The type object to which the property set is assigned. The property set acts as a shared property set to all occurrences of the type object. |
|
| IsDefinedBy | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelDefinesByTemplate FOR RelatedPropertySets |
Relation to the property set template, via the objectified relationship IfcRelDefinesByTemplate, that, if given, provides the definition template for the property set or quantity set and its properties. |
|
| DefinesOccurrence | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelDefinesByProperties FOR RelatingPropertyDefinition |
Reference to the relation to one or many object occurrences that are characterized by the property set definition. A single property set can be assigned to multiple object occurrences using the objectified relationship IfcRefDefinesByProperties. |

| 5 | OperationType | IfcPermeableCoveringOperationEnum |
Types of permeable covering operations. Also used to assign standard symbolic presentations according to national building standards. |
| 6 | PanelPosition | IfcWindowPanelPositionEnum |
Position of this permeable covering panel within the overall window or door type. |
| 7 | FrameDepth | OPTIONAL IfcPositiveLengthMeasure |
Depth of panel frame (used to include the permeable covering), measured from front face to back face horizontally (i.e. perpendicular to the window or door (elevation) plane. |
| 8 | FrameThickness | OPTIONAL IfcPositiveLengthMeasure |
Width of panel frame (used to include the permeable covering), measured from inside of panel (at permeable covering) to outside of panel (at lining), i.e. parallel to the window or door (elevation) plane. |
| 9 | ShapeAspectStyle | OPTIONAL IfcShapeAspect |
Optional link to a shape aspect definition, which points to the part of the geometric representation of the window style, which is used to represent the permeable covering. |
7.1.3.3.4 Concept usage

|---|---|---|---|
| IfcRoot (2) | |||
| Revision Control | General |
Ownership, history, and merge state is captured using IfcOwnerHistory. |
|
