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 structures 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 definition can be aggregated by several other objects (occurrences or parts). |

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. |
|
IfcObject (5) | |||
5 | ObjectType | 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 or when the concrete entity instantiated does not have a PredefinedType attribute. The latter is the case in some exceptional leaf classes and when instantiating IfcBuiltElement directly. |
IsDeclaredBy | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelDefinesByObject FOR RelatedObjects |
Link to the relationship object pointing to the declaring object that provides the object definitions for this object occurrence. The declaring object has to be part of an object type decomposition. The associated IfcObject, or its subtypes, contains the specific information (as part of a type, or style, definition), that is common to all reflected instances of the declaring IfcObject, or its subtypes. |
|
Declares | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelDefinesByObject FOR RelatingObject |
Link to the relationship object pointing to the reflected object(s) that receives the object definitions. The reflected object has to be part of an object occurrence decomposition. The associated IfcObject, or its subtypes, provides the specific information (as part of a type, or style, definition), that is common to all reflected instances of the declaring IfcObject, or its subtypes. |
|
IsTypedBy | SET [0:1] OF IfcRelDefinesByType FOR RelatedObjects |
Set of relationships to the object type that provides the type definitions for this object occurrence.

|
IfcProduct (5) | |||
6 | ObjectPlacement | OPTIONAL IfcObjectPlacement |
This establishes the object coordinate system and placement of the product in space. The placement can either be absolute (relative to the world coordinate system), relative (relative to the object placement of another product), or constrained (e.g. relative to grid axes, or to a linear positioning element). The type of placement is determined by the various subtypes of IfcObjectPlacement. An object placement must be provided if a representation is present. |
7 | Representation | OPTIONAL IfcProductRepresentation |
Reference to the representations of the product, being either a representation (IfcProductRepresentation) or as a special case of a shape representation (IfcProductDefinitionShape). The product definition shape provides for multiple geometric representations of the shape property of the object within the same object coordinate system, defined by the object placement. |
ReferencedBy | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelAssignsToProduct FOR RelatingProduct |
Reference to the IfcRelAssignsToProduct relationship, by which other products, processes, controls, resources or actors (as subtypes of IfcObjectDefinition) can be related to this product. |

|
IsInterferedByElements | SET [0:?] OF IfcRelInterferesElements FOR RelatedElement |

|
Object Typing | General |
Any object occurrence can be typed by being assigned to a common object type utilizing this concept. A particular rule, restricting the applicable subtypes of IfcTypeObject that can be assigned, is introduced by overriding this concept at the level of subtypes of IfcObject. This concept can be applied to the following resources: |
|
Object User Identity | General |
An attribute Name and optionally Description can be used for all subypes of IfcObject. For those subtypes, that have an object type definition, such as IfcBeam - IfcBeamType, the common Name and optionally Description is associated with the object type. |
|
Property Sets with Override | General |
Any object occurrence can hold property sets, either directly at the object occurrence as element specific property sets, or at the object type, as type property sets. In this case, the properties that are provided to the object occurrence are the combinations of element specific and type properties. In case that the same property (within the same property set) is defined both in occurrence and type properties, the property value of the occurrence property overrides the property value of the type property. |
