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.
