Class TIfcElementComponentType

This item is declared in ancestor TIfcObjectDefinition.

Add given TIfcObjectDefinition instance to the IsDecomposedBy list of this object. Adds also new intermediate TIfcRelAggregates instance.

This shall be used to add top-level IfcSpatialStructureElement instances to the project, e.g.:

• TIfcSite instance inside IfcProject,

• IfcBuilding instance inside TIfcSite,

• IfcBuildingStorey instance inside IfcBuilding

TIfcSpatialElement.AddContainedElement

Add given Element (TIfcElement, descendant of TIfcProduct) to the ContainsElements list of this spatial element.

This item is declared in ancestor TIfcPersistent.

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.".
