Entity definition

An IfcTransitionCurveSegment2D is a curve that transitions between a straight line and a circular arc (or the reverse).

Attribute definitions
#AttributeTypeCardinalityDescription G
4StartRadiusIfcPositiveLengthMeasure? The radius of the curve at the start point. If the radius is not provided by a value, i.e. being “NIL” it is interpreted as INFINITE – the StartPoint is at the point, where it does not have a curvature. X
5EndRadiusIfcPositiveLengthMeasure? The radius of the curve at the end point. If the radius is not provided by a value, i.e. being “NIL” it is interpreted as INFINITE – the end point is at the point, where it does not have a curvature. X
6IsStartRadiusCCWIfcBoolean Indication of the curve starting counter-clockwise or clockwise. The orientation of the curve is IsCcw=”true”, if the spiral arc goes counter-clockwise as seen from the start point and start direction, or “to the left", and with IsCcw=”false” if the spiral arc goes clockwise, or “to the right”. X
7IsEndRadiusCCWIfcBoolean Indication of the curve ending counter-clockwise or clockwise. The orientation of the clothoidal arc is IsCcw=”true”, if the spiral arc goes counter-clockwise as seen towards the end point and end direction, or “to the left", and with IsCcw=”false” if the spiral arc goes clockwise, or “to the right”. X
8TransitionCurveTypeIfcTransitionCurveType Indicates the specific type of transition curve. 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
StyledByItemIfcStyledItem
@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.

1StartPointIfcCartesianPoint The start point of the 2D curve as x/y coordinates defined by a 2D Cartesian point. X
2StartDirectionIfcPlaneAngleMeasure The direction of the tangent at the start point. Direction value 0. indicates a curve with a start tangent along the positive x-axis. Values increases counter-clockwise, and decreases clockwise. Depending on the plane angle unit, either degree or radians, the sensible range is -360° ≤ n ≤ 360° (or -2π ≤ n ≤ 2π). Values larger then a full circle (>|360°| or >|2 π| shall not be used. X
3SegmentLengthIfcPositiveLengthMeasure The length along the curve X

4StartRadiusIfcPositiveLengthMeasure? The radius of the curve at the start point. If the radius is not provided by a value, i.e. being “NIL” it is interpreted as INFINITE – the StartPoint is at the point, where it does not have a curvature. X
5EndRadiusIfcPositiveLengthMeasure? The radius of the curve at the end point. If the radius is not provided by a value, i.e. being “NIL” it is interpreted as INFINITE – the end point is at the point, where it does not have a curvature. X
6IsStartRadiusCCWIfcBoolean Indication of the curve starting counter-clockwise or clockwise. The orientation of the curve is IsCcw=”true”, if the spiral arc goes counter-clockwise as seen from the start point and start direction, or “to the left", and with IsCcw=”false” if the spiral arc goes clockwise, or “to the right”.

7IsEndRadiusCCWIfcBoolean Indication of the curve ending counter-clockwise or clockwise.
