Semantic definitions at the entity
Entity definition

An IfcAlignmentCurve describes a 3D curve based on a 2D vertical curve defined along the path of a 2D horizontal curve.

Attribute definitions
#AttributeTypeCardinalityDescription G
1HorizontalIfcAlignment2DHorizontal The horizontal component of the curve. X
2VerticalIfcAlignment2DVertical? The vertical component of the curve, which is defined relative to the horizontal curve. X
3TagIfcLabel? Optional identifier of the curve, which may be used to correlate points from a variable cross-section. X

IfcRepresentationItem
LayerAssignmentIfcPresentationLayerAssignment
@AssignedItems
S[0:1]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.
X

@Item
S[0:1]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.
