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.

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 AssociatedTo: TIfcRelAssociatesMaterialList read FAssociatedTo;

Use of the IfcMaterialUsageDefinition subtypes within the material association of an element occurrence. The association is established by the IfcRelAssociatesMaterial relationship.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 1718).

Published property ForProfileSet: TIfcMaterialProfileSet read FForProfileSet write FForProfileSet;

The IfcMaterialProfileSet set to which the usage is applied.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 1733).

Published property CardinalPoint: Integer read FCardinalPoint write FCardinalPoint;

Index reference to a significant point in the section profile. Describes how the section is aligned relative to the (longitudinal) axis of the member it is associated with. This parametric specification of profile alignment can be provided redundantly to the explicit alignment defined by ForProfileSet.MaterialProfiles[*].Profile.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 1741).

Published property ReferenceExtent: TIfcPositiveLengthMeasure read FReferenceExtent write FReferenceExtent;

Extent of the extrusion of the elements body shape representation to which the IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage applies. It is used as the reference value for the upper OffsetValues[2] provided by the IfcMaterialProfileWithOffsets subtype for included material profiles.
