The IfcPolyline is a bounded curve with only linear segments defined by a list of Cartesian points. If the first and the last Cartesian point in the list are identical, then the polyline is a closed curve, otherwise it is an open curve.
EXAMPLE Figure 371 illustrates a bounded IfcPolyline and shows the parametric length of each segment and of the total polyline.

NOTE Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
A polyline is a bounded curve of n - 1 linear segments, defined by a list of n points, P1, P2 ... Pn. The _i_th segment of the curve is parameterized as follows:
for 1 ≤ i ≤ n - 1 where i - 1 ≤ u ≤ i and with parametric range of 0 <≤ u ≤ n - 1.
