8.9.3.61.3 Attributes

# Attribute Type Description
IfcRepresentationItem (2)
LayerAssignment SET [0:1] OF IfcPresentationLayerAssignment FOR AssignedItems

Assignment of the representation item to a single or multiple layer(s). The LayerAssignments can override a LayerAssignments of the IfcRepresentation it is used within the list of Items.

StyledByItem SET [0:1] OF IfcStyledItem FOR Item

Reference to the IfcStyledItem that provides presentation information to the representation, e.g. a curve style, including colour and thickness to a geometric curve.

IfcSegment (3)
1 Transition IfcTransitionCode

The state of transition (i.e., geometric continuity from the last point of this segment to the first point of the next segment) in IfcCompositeCurve and subtypes.

UsingCurves SET [1:?] OF IfcCompositeCurve FOR Segments

The set of composite curves which use this composite curve segment as a segment. This set shall not be empty.

* Dim IfcDimensionCount

This attribute is formally derived.

IfcSegmentDim(SELF)

The space dimensionality of this abstract class, handled by a function specific for concrete subtypes which returns the dimensionality of the ParentCurve attribute (defined on both subtypes).
