5.4.3.70 IfcSpatialZone
5.4.3.70.1 Semantic definition
A spatial zone is a non-hierarchical and potentially overlapping decomposition of the project under some functional consideration. A spatial zone might be used to represent a thermal zone, a construction zone, a lighting zone, a usable area zone. A spatial zone might have its independent placement and shape representation.
The IfcSpatialZone inherits and declares these attributes that shall have the following meaning:
- Name: A number or designator provided by the user or system for the spatial element
- LongName: Name of the spatial element provided by the user
- Description: Any additional description provided by the user
- ObjectType: reserved for typing of spatial elements in case of PredefinedType = .USERDEFINED., restrictions on applicable values might be published in view definitions or implementer agreements.
Physical elements that are referenced by this spatial zone are related using the IfcRelReferencedInSpatialStructure relationship as it is a non-hierarchical assignment in addition to the hierarchical spatial containment within a subtype of IfcSpatialStructureElement. Also spaces, that are referenced by this spatial zone are related using the IfcRelReferencedInSpatialStructure relationship. The IfcSpatialZone itself can also be referenced by another spatial element using IfcRelReferencedInSpatialStructure.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CorrectPredefinedType |
Either the PredefinedType attribute is unset (e.g. because an IfcSpatialZoneType is associated), or the inherited attribute ObjectType shall be provided, if the PredefinedType is set to USERDEFINED. |
||||||
|
|||||||
CorrectTypeAssigned |
Either there is no spatial zone type object associated, then the IsTypedBy inverse relationship is not provided, or the associated type object has to be of type IfcSpatialZoneType. |
