A property with an enumerated value, IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue, defines a property object which has a value assigned that is chosen from an enumeration. It defines a property - value combination for which the property Name, an optional Description, the optional EnumerationValues with measure type and optionally an Unit is given.
NOTE Multiple choices from the property enumeration are supported.
The unit is handled by the Unit attribute, see Table 699 for an example of a enumerated property:
More precisely: The IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue defines a property, which value is selected from a defined list of enumerators. The enumerators are stored in a dynamic enumeration of values including the type information from IfcValue (see IfcPropertyEnumeration). This enables applications to use an enumeration value as a property within a property set (IfcPropertySet) including the allowed list of values.
NOTE An IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue may be exchanged with no values assigned yet. In this case the EnumerationValues are set to NIL.

The IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue refers to an IfcPropertyEnumeration, see Table 700 for an example:

It is not mandatory to use an instance of IfcPropertyEnumeration to hold the applicable values for IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue, however this is the preferred way. A single instance of IfcPropertyEnumeration can be referenced by multiple instances of IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue.
HISTORY New entity in IFC2.0.
IFC2x CHANGE Entity has been renamed from IfcEnumeratedProperty
IFC4 CHANGE Attribute EnumerationValues has been made OPTIONAL with upward compatibility for file based exchange.
| # | Attribute | Type | Cardinality | Description | G |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | EnumerationValues | IfcValue | ? L[1:?] |
Enumeration values, which shall be listed in the referenced IfcPropertyEnumeration, if such a reference is provided.
IFC4 CHANGE The attribute has been made optional with upward compatibility for file based exchange. | X |
| 4 | EnumerationReference | IfcPropertyEnumeration | ? | Enumeration from which a enumeration value has been selected. The referenced enumeration also establishes the unit of the enumeration value. | X |
| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| WR21 | Each value within the list of EnumerationValues shall be a member of the list of EnumerationValues at the referenced IfcPropertyEnumeration (provided that both, the EnumerationValues and EnumerationReference, are asserted). |
