6.1.3.21 IfcPlateType

6.1.3.21.1 Semantic definition

The element type IfcPlateType defines commonly shared information for occurrences of plates. The set of shared information may include:

  • common properties within shared property sets
  • common material information
  • common material layer definitions
  • common shape representations

It is used to define a plate specification (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type). Plate types may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcPlateType within building models are represented by instances of IfcPlate.

Informal Propositions

  1. The material assignment, if provided using the IfcRelAssociatesMaterial relationship, shall not reference the IfcMaterialLayerSetUsage. Use IfcMaterialLayerSet instead.
