Entity definition

The cant transition segment is a 2D transition curve using the inherited attributes from IfcAlignment2DCantSegment.

Attribute definitions
#AttributeTypeCardinalityDescription G
10StartRadiusIfcPositiveLengthMeasure? 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
11EndRadiusIfcPositiveLengthMeasure? 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
12IsStartRadiusCCWIfcBoolean 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 right side of the curve, or �to the upside", and with IsCcw=�false� if the spiral arc goes clockwise, or �to the downside�. X
13IsEndRadiusCCWIfcBoolean 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 from right side of the curve, or �to the upside", and with IsCcw=�false� if the spiral arc goes clockwise, or �to the downside�. X
14TransitionCurveTypeIfcTransitionCurveType 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.

IfcAlignment2DSegment
1TangentialContinuityIfcBoolean? Connectivity between the continuous segments is not enforced per se to be tangential. Setting "TangentialContinuity" to True means that the current segment shall continue with tangential continuity to the previous one. X
2StartTagIfcLabel? Tag to annotate the start point of the alignment segment. X
3EndTagIfcLabel? Tag to annotate the end point of the alignment segment. X
IfcAlignment2DCantSegment
4StartDistAlongIfcPositiveLengthMeasure Distance along the horizontal alignment, measured along the IfcAlignment2DHorizontal given in the length unit of the global IfcUnitAssignment. X
5HorizontalLengthIfcPositiveLengthMeasure Length measured as distance along the horizontal alignment of the segment. X
6StartCantLeftIfcLengthMeasure Length measured for the left cant at the beginning of the segment. X
7EndCantLeftIfcLengthMeasure? Length measured for the left cant at the end of the segment. X
8StartCantRightIfcLengthMeasure Length measured for the right cant at the beginning of the segment. X
9EndCantRightIfcLengthMeasure? Length measured for the right cant at the end of the segment. X
