8.9.3.62.3 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. IFC2x3-CHANGE The inverse attribute LayerAssignments has been added. IFC4-CHANGE The inverse attribute LayerAssignment has been restricted to max 1. Upward compatibility for file based exchange is guaranteed.
	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. IFC2x3-CHANGE The inverse attribute StyledByItem has been added.

IfcSegment (3)
1	Transition	IfcTransitionCode	Connectivity between the continuous segments is not enforced per se to be tangential. Setting "TangentialContinuity" to True means that the current segment shall continue with tangential continuity to the previous one.
	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).
