7.11.3.8 IfcPileType
7.11.3.8.1 Semantic definition
The building element type IfcPileType defines commonly shared information for occurrences of piles. The set of shared information may include:
- common properties with shared property sets
- common representations
- common materials
- common composition of elements
It is used to define a pile type specification indicating the specific product information that is common to all occurrences of that product type. The IfcPileType may be declared within IfcProject or IfcProjectLibrary using IfcRelDeclares and may be exchanged with or without occurrences of the type. Occurrences of IfcPileType are represented by instances of IfcPile. Refer to the documentation at IfcPile for supported property sets, materials, and composition.

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. |
| IfcObjectDefinition (7) | |||
| HasAssignments | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAssigns FOR RelatedObjects |
Reference to the relationship objects, that assign (by an association relationship) other subtypes of IfcObject to this object instance. Examples are the association to products, processes, controls, resources or groups. |
|
| Nests | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelNests FOR RelatedObjects |
References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is a part within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object occurrence or type can only be part of a single decomposition (to allow hierarchical strutures only). |
|
| IsNestedBy | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelNests FOR RelatingObject |
References to the decomposition relationship being a nesting. It determines that this object definition is the whole within an ordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object or object type can be nested by several other objects (occurrences or types). |
|
| HasContext | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelDeclares FOR RelatedDefinitions |
References to the context providing context information such as project unit or representation context. It should only be asserted for the uppermost non-spatial object. |
|
| IsDecomposedBy | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAggregates FOR RelatingObject |
References to the decomposition relationship being an aggregation. It determines that this object definition is whole within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definitions can be aggregated by several other objects (occurrences or parts). |
|
| Decomposes | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelAggregates FOR RelatedObjects |
References to the decomposition relationship being an aggregation. It determines that this object definition is a part within an unordered whole/part decomposition relationship. An object definitions can only be part of a single decomposition (to allow hierarchical strutures only). |
|
| HasAssociations | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAssociates FOR RelatedObjects |
Reference to the relationship objects, that associates external references or other resource definitions to the object.. Examples are the association to library, documentation or classification. |
|
| IfcTypeObject (3) | |||
| 5 | ApplicableOccurrence | OPTIONAL IfcIdentifier |
The attribute optionally defines the data type of the occurrence object, to which the assigned type object can relate. If not present, no instruction is given to which occurrence object the type object is applicable. The following conventions are used: * The IFC entity name of the applicable occurrence using the IFC naming convention, CamelCase with IFC prefix * It can be optionally followed by the predefined type after the separator "/" (forward slash), using uppercase * If one type object is applicable to many occurrence objects, then those occurrence object names should be separate by comma "," forming a comma separated string. |
| 6 | HasPropertySets | OPTIONAL SET [1:?] OF IfcPropertySetDefinition |
Set ~~list~~ of unique property sets, that are associated with the object type and are common to all object occurrences referring to this object type. |
| Types | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelDefinesByType FOR RelatingType |
Reference to the relationship IfcRelDefinedByType and thus to those occurrence objects, which are defined by this type. |
|
| IfcTypeProduct (3) | |||
| 7 | RepresentationMaps | OPTIONAL LIST [1:?] OF UNIQUE IfcRepresentationMap |
List of unique representation maps. Each representation map describes a block definition of the shape of the product style. By providing more than one representation map, a multi-view block definition can be given. |
| 8 | Tag | OPTIONAL IfcLabel |
The tag (or label) identifier at the particular type of a product, e.g. the article number (like the EAN). It is the identifier at the specific level. |
| ReferencedBy | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAssignsToProduct FOR RelatingProduct |

|
| IfcElementType (1) | |||
| 9 | ElementType | OPTIONAL IfcLabel |
The type denotes a particular type that indicates the object further. The use has to be established at the level of instantiable subtypes. In particular it holds the user defined type, if the enumeration of the attribute 'PredefinedType' is set to USERDEFINED. |

| Product Type Geometric Representation | General |
No description available. |
|
| Product Type Shape | General |
The RepresentationMaps define the type product shape and multiple geometric representations can be assigned. If a product occurrence is assigned to the type by using the IfcRelDefinesByType relationship, then these occurrences have to reference the representation maps. The reference is created by one or multiple IfcShapeRepresentation's having an IfcMappedItem as Items, that places the IfcRepresentationMap of the type product into the spatial contexts, i.e. by using an Cartesian transformation operator to transform the IfcRepresentationMap into the object coordinate system of the product occurrence. Figure 1 illustrates an example of referencing a representation map by the shape representation of a product occurrence. Here the Cartesian transformation operator only uses translation, but no rotation, mirroring, or scaling.   |
