Pset_OutletTypeCommon: property set for properties that are common to all types of cabled outlet, if available

Geometry Use Definitions

Representations of the type are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct). These are assigned at the occurrence through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item being an IfcMappedItem.
