Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

The IfcFaceBasedSurfaceModel represents the a shape by connected face sets. The connected faces have a dimensionality 2 and are placed in a coordinate space of dimensionality 3.

NOTE Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
A face based surface model is described by a set of connected face sets of dimensionality 2. The connected face sets shall not intersect except at edges and vertices, except that a face in one connected face set may overlap a face in another connected face set, provided the face boundaries are identical. There shall be at least one connected face set.
A connected face set may exist independently of a surface model.

NOTE Entity adapted from face_based_surface_model defined in ISO 10303-42.

HISTORY New entity in IFC2x.

Informal Propositions:

The connected face sets shall not overlap or intersect except at common faces, edges or vertices.
The fbsm faces have dimensionality 2.

IFC4 CHANGE The entity has been deprecated and shall not be used. The entity IfcFacetedBrep shall be used instead.
