8.14.3.10 IfcPresentationLayerWithStyle

8.14.3.10.1 Semantic definition

An IfcPresentationLayerWithStyle extends the presentation layer assignment with capabilities to define visibility control, access control and common style information.

The visibility control allows to define a layer to be either 'on' or 'off', and/or 'frozen' or 'not frozen'. The access control allows to block graphical entities from manipulations by setting a layer to be either 'blocked' or 'not blocked'. Common style information can be given to the layer.

8.14.3.10.3 Attributes

#	Attribute	Type	Description
IfcPresentationLayerAssignment (4)
1	Name	IfcLabel	Name of the layer.
2	Description	OPTIONAL IfcText	Additional description of the layer.
3	AssignedItems	SET [1:?] OF IfcLayeredItem	The set of layered items, which are assigned to this layer.
4	Identifier	OPTIONAL IfcIdentifier	An (internal) identifier assigned to the layer.

IfcPresentationLayerWithStyle (4)
5	LayerOn	IfcLogical	A logical setting, TRUE indicates that the layer is set to 'On', FALSE that the layer is set to 'Off', UNKNOWN that such information is not available.
6	LayerFrozen	IfcLogical	A logical setting, TRUE indicates that the layer is set to 'Frozen', FALSE that the layer is set to 'Not frozen', UNKNOWN that such information is not available.
7	LayerBlocked	IfcLogical	A logical setting, TRUE indicates that the layer is set to 'Blocked', FALSE that the layer is set to 'Not blocked', UNKNOWN that such information is not available.
8	LayerStyles	SET [0:?] OF IfcPresentationStyle	Assignment of presentation styles to the layer to provide a default style for representation items. NOTE In most cases the assignment of styles to a layer is restricted to an IfcCurveStyle representing the layer curve colour, layer curve thickness, and layer curve type. IFC4-CHANGE The data type has been changed from IfcPresentationStyleSelect (now deprecated) to IfcPresentationStyle.

Name	Description
ApplicableOnlyToItems	The IfcPresentationLayerWithStyle shall only be used to assign subtypes of IfcGeometricRepresentationItem's and to IfcMappedItem. There shall be no instance of subtypes of IfcRepresentation in the set of AssignedItem's. IFC4-CHANGE New where rule.
`SIZEOF(QUERY(temp <* AssignedItems \| (SIZEOF(TYPEOF(temp) * ['IFC4X3_DEV_d5336fff.IfcGeometricRepresentationItem','IFC4X3_DEV_d5336fff.IfcMappedItem']) >= 1))) = SIZEOF(AssignedItems)`

Last change: Improve definition split (#876) * bring back headers headers were previously removed by mistake, now bringing them back * add new lines and rename the tag add the word 'short' in it * unify newlines make exactly one newline before and two after the tag * resolving typos Because bringing back headers required to go back in time to previous version, I'm now re-resolving the issues: #861, #860, #856 by ArturTomczak on 7/16/2024, 2:07:28 PM
