8.12.3.29.1 Semantic definition

IfcSurfaceStyle is an assignment of one or many surface style elements to a surface, defined by subtypes of IfcSurface, IfcFaceBasedSurfaceModel, IfcShellBasedSurfaceModel, or by subtypes of IfcSolidModel. The positive direction of the surface normal relates to the positive side. In case of solids the outside of the solid is to be taken as positive side.
