Class TIfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef

Unit

Declaration

type TIfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef = class(TIfcProfileDef)

Description

Closed profile IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef defines an arbitrary two-dimensional profile for the use within the swept surface geometry, the swept area solid or a sectioned spine. It is given by an outer boundary from which the surface or solid can be constructed.

Description

Methods

Protected function WantsGlobalId: Boolean; virtual;

If True, instances of this class will have GlobalId auto-assigned at saving, and they will be saved as part of the "data" list in IFC JSON files.

Strictly following the spec, this should be only defined for TIfcRoot, because only IfcRoot has GlobalId. In reality, we need GlobalId at TIfcPersistent to load some files, and we sometimes need WantsGlobalId = True to save some files.

Protected class function IfcClassName: String; virtual;

Name for the IFC standard, used in IFC files. By default, this is just ClassName with prefix 'T' removed.

Public procedure UpdateCrossSection(const CrossSection: TVector2List; var CrossSectionConvex: Boolean; const ParentName: String); virtual;

Update CrossSection to be used by IfcExtrudedAreaSolid. In the base class, this makes a warning "not implemented". Override (and do not call "inherited") to provide a useful implementation.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 1220).

Public procedure UpdateCrossSection(const CrossSection: TVector2List; var CrossSectionConvex: Boolean; const ParentName: String); override;

This item has no description. Showing description inherited from TIfcProfileDef.UpdateCrossSection.

Update CrossSection to be used by IfcExtrudedAreaSolid. In the base class, this makes a warning "not implemented". Override (and do not call "inherited") to provide a useful implementation.

Properties

Published property GlobalId: String read FGlobalId write FGlobalId;

Globally unique identifier for the object instance.

Note: Not declared as TGUID, because TGUID cannot be published, but also we don't really need it: for our purposes, this identifier is just an arbitrary string.

Note: IFC 4.3 specification puts this only at IfcRoot, not at every IFC class. But testcase https://github.com/buildingsmart-community/Community-Sample-Test-Files/blob/main/IFC%204.0.2.1%20(IFC%204)/ISO%20Spec%20archive/wall-with-opening-and-window.json (from IFC 4.0) shows this can be present at any IFC class, in particular TIfcGeometricRepresentationContext.

In fact, TIfcGeometricRepresentationContext needs to have GlobalId to be successfully saved (avoid recursively trying to serialize it) in some cases. We indicate such classes with WantsGlobalId.

IFC JSON documentation says this, which seems to (unfortunately it is not unambiguous enough...) allow this at any IFC class: "Whereas the globalId attribute is only available to those elements that are descendent of the IfcRoot entity in the EXPRESS schema, we encourage a broader use of this globalId, to enable referencing between objects in a JSON file when useful.".

Published property ProfileType: TIfcProfileTypeEnum read FProfileType write FProfileType;

Type of geometry into which this profile definition shall be resolved.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 1224).

Published property ProfileName: TIfcLabel read FProfileName write FProfileName;

Human-readable name of the profile.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 1227).

Published property HasExternalReference: TIfcExternalReferenceRelationshipList read FHasExternalReference;

Reference to external information, e.g. library, classification, or document information, which is associated with the profile.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 1231).

Published property HasProperties: TIfcProfilePropertiesList read FHasProperties;

Additional properties of the profile, for example mechanical properties.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 1234).

Published property OuterCurve: TIfcCurve read FOuterCurve write FOuterCurve;

Bounded curve, defining the outer boundaries of the arbitrary profile.
