The objectified relationship, IfcRelReferencedInSpatialStructure is used to assign elements in addition to those levels of the project spatial\S\ structure, in which they are referenced, but not primarily contained. It is also used to connect a system to the relevant spatial element that it serves.
NOTE The primary containment relationship between an element and the spatial structure is handled by IfcRelContainedInSpatialStructure.
Any element can be referenced to zero, one or several levels of the spatial structure. Whereas the IfcRelContainedInSpatialStructure relationship is required to be hierarchical (an element can only be contained in exactly one spatial structure element), the IfcRelReferencedInSpatialStructure is not restricted to be hierarchical.
EXAMPLE A wall might be normally contained within a storey, and since it does not span through several stories, it is not referenced in any additional storey. However a curtain wall might span through several stories, in this case it can be contained within the ground floor, but it would be referenced by all additional stories, it spans.
Predefined spatial structure elements to which elements can be assigned are
Elements can also be references in a spatial zone that is provided as IfcSpatialZone.
Figure 167 shows the use of IfcRelContainedInSpatialStructure and IfcRelReferencedInSpatialStructure to assign an IfcCurtainWall to two different levels within the spatial structure. It is primarily contained within the ground floor, and additionally referenced within the first and second floor.

| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| AllowedRelatedElements | The relationship object shall not be used to include other spatial structure elements into a spatial structure element. The hierarchy of the spatial structure is defined using IfcRelAggregates. Exception: an IfcSpace can be referenced by another spatial structure element, in particular by an IfcSpatialZone.
IFC4 CHANGE The relaxation to allow IfcSpace has been included. |
