Entity definition

An IfcCartesianTransformationOperator defines a geometric transformation in three-dimensional space.

NOTE  Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
A Cartesian transformation operator 3d defines a geometric transformation in three-dimensional space composed of translation, rotation, mirroring and uniform scaling. The list of normalized vectors u defines the columns of an orthogonal matrix T. These vectors are computed from the direction attributes axis1, axis2 and axis3 by the base axis function. If |T|= -1, the transformation includes mirroring.

NOTE  Entity adapted from cartesian_transformation_operator_3d defined in ISO10303-42.

HISTORY  New entity in IFC2x.

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.
