8.8.3.4 IfcBooleanClippingResult
8.8.3.4.1 Semantic definition
A clipping result is defined as a special subtype of the general IfcBooleanResult. It constrains the operands and the operator of the Boolean result.
A clipping result is the Boolean difference between a swept solid and a half space solid, or between the result of the Boolean difference and a half space solid. Hence more than one difference operation can be applied to achieve the final Boolean result.

| # | Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| IfcRepresentationItem (2) | |||
| LayerAssignment | SET [0:1] OF IfcPresentationLayerAssignment FOR AssignedItems |
Assignment of the representation item to a single or multiple layer(s). The LayerAssignments can override a LayerAssignments of the IfcRepresentation it is used within the list of Items. |
|
| StyledByItem | SET [0:1] OF IfcStyledItem FOR Item |
Reference to the IfcStyledItem that provides presentation information to the representation, e.g. a curve style, including colour and thickness to a geometric curve. |

| IfcBooleanResult (4) | |||
| 1 | Operator | IfcBooleanOperator |
The Boolean operator used in the operation to create the result. |
| 2 | FirstOperand | IfcBooleanOperand |
The first operand to be operated upon by the Boolean operation. |
| 3 | SecondOperand | IfcBooleanOperand |
The second operand specified for the operation. |
| * | Dim | IfcDimensionCount |
This attribute is formally derived. The space dimensionality of this entity. It is identical with the space dimensionality of the first operand. A where rule ensures that both operands have the same space dimensionality. |
8.8.3.4.4 Formal propositions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| FirstOperandType |
The first operand of the Boolean clipping operation shall be either an IfcSweptAreaSolid or (in case of more than one clipping) an IfcBooleanResult. |
|
|
| OperatorType |
The Boolean operator for clipping is always "Difference". |
|
|
| SecondOperandType |
The second operand of the Boolean clipping operation shall be an IfcHalfSpaceSolid. |
