5.1.3.31.1 Semantic definition

The objectified relationship (IfcRelAssociatesDocument) handles the assignment of document information (items of the select IfcDocumentSelect) to objects occurrences (subtypes of IfcObject) or object types (subtypes of IfcTypeObject).

The relationship is used to assign a document reference or more detailed document information to objects. A single document reference can be applied to multiple objects.

The inherited attribute RelatedObjects defines the objects to which the document association is applied. The attribute RelatingDocument is the reference to a document reference, applied to the object(s).
