8.16.3.13 IfcPropertyTableValue
8.16.3.13.1 Semantic definition
IfcPropertyTableValue is a property with a value range defined by a property object which has two lists of (numeric or descriptive) values assigned. The values specify a table with two columns. The defining values provide the first column and establish the scope for the defined values (the second column). An optional Expression attribute may give the equation used for deriving the range value, which is for information purposes only.
The IfcPropertyTableValue defines a defining/defined property value combination for which the property name, the table with defining and defined values with measure type (and optional the units for defining and defined values) are given.
The units are handled by the DefiningUnit and DefinedUnit attributes, see Table 8.16.3.13.A for an example of a table value property:
- If the DefiningUnit or DefinedUnit attribute is not given, then the unit is already implied by the type of IfcMeasureValue or IfcDerivedMeasureValue. The associated unit can be found at the IfcUnitAssignment globally defined at the project level (IfcProject.UnitsInContext).
- If the DefiningUnit or DefinedUnit attribute is given, then the unit assigned by the unit attribute overrides the globally assigned unit.
The IfcPropertyTableValue allows for the specification of a table of defining/defined value pairs of the property description. The optional attribute CurveInterpolation allows to determine the interval between two given values.
