8.9.3.15 IfcCartesianTransformationOperator2DnonUniform

8.9.3.15.1 Semantic definition

A Cartesian transformation operator 2d non uniform defines a geometric transformation in two-dimensional space composed of translation, rotation, mirroring and non uniform scaling. Non uniform scaling is given by two different scaling factors:

If the Scale factor (at supertype IfcCartesianTransformationOperator) is omitted, it defaults to 1.0. If the Scale2 factor is omitted, it defaults to the value of Scale (the x axis scale factor).

8.9.3.15.3 Attributes

# 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.

IfcCartesianTransformationOperator (6)
1 Axis1 OPTIONAL IfcDirection

The direction used to determine U[1], the derived X axis direction.

2 Axis2 OPTIONAL IfcDirection

The direction used to determine U[2], the derived Y axis direction.

3 LocalOrigin IfcCartesianPoint

The required translation, specified as a cartesian point. The actual translation included in the transformation is from the geometric origin to the local origin.

4 Scale OPTIONAL IfcReal

The scaling value specified for the transformation.

* Scl IfcReal

This attribute is formally derived.

 NVL(Scale, 1.0)

The derived scale S of the transformation, equal to scale if that exists, or 1.0 otherwise.

* Dim IfcDimensionCount

This attribute is formally derived.

 LocalOrigin.Dim

The space dimensionality of this class, determined by the space dimensionality of the local origin.

IfcCartesianTransformationOperator2D (1)
* U LIST [2:2] OF IfcDirection

This attribute is formally derived.

 IfcBaseAxis(2,SELF\IfcCartesianTransformationOperator.Axis1,
SELF\IfcCartesianTransformationOperator.Axis2,?)

The list of mutually orthogonal, normalized vectors defining the transformation matrix T. They are derived from the explicit attributes Axis1 and Axis2 in that order.

IfcCartesianTransformationOperator2DnonUniform (2)
5 Scale2 OPTIONAL IfcReal

The scaling value specified for the transformation along the axis 2. This is normally the y scale factor.

* Scl2 IfcReal

This attribute is formally derived.

 NVL(Scale2, SELF\IfcCartesianTransformationOperator.Scl)

The derived scale S(2) of the transformation along the axis 2 (normally the y axis), equal to Scale2 if that exists, or equal to the derived Scl1 (normally the x axis scale factor) otherwise.

Last change: Improve definition split (#876) * bring back headers headers were previously removed by mistake, now bringing them back * add new lines and rename the tag add the word 'short' in it * unify newlines make exactly one newline before and two after the tag * resolving typos Because bringing back headers required to go back in time to previous version, I'm now re-resolving the issues: #861, #860, #856 by ArturTomczak on 2024-07-16T16:07:28+02:00
