Class TIfcRepresentationMap

Unit

Declaration

type TIfcRepresentationMap = class(TIfcPersistent)

Description

Base definition (also referred to as block, cell or macro) called MappedRepresentation within the MappingOrigin. The MappingOrigin defines the coordinate system in which the MappedRepresentation is defined.

Description

Methods

Protected function WantsGlobalId: Boolean; virtual;

This item is declared in ancestor TIfcPersistent.

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.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_types.inc (line 52).

Protected class function IfcClassName: String; virtual;

This item is declared in ancestor TIfcPersistent.

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;

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.".

Published property MappingOrigin: TIfcAxis2Placement read FMappingOrigin write FMappingOrigin;

An axis2 placement that defines the position about which the mapped representation is mapped.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 2206).

Published property MappedRepresentation: TIfcRepresentation read FMappedRepresentation write FMappedRepresentation;

A representation that is mapped to at least one mapped item.

Source: scene/load/ifc/castleifc_ifc_standard_types.inc (line 2209).

Published property HasShapeAspects: TIfcShapeAspectList read FHasShapeAspects;

Reference to the shape aspect that represents part of the shape or its feature distinctively.

Published property MapUsage: TIfcMappedItemList read FMapUsage;

This item has no description.
