8.14.3.10 IfcPresentationLayerWithStyle

8.14.3.10.1 Semantic definition

An IfcPresentationLayerWithStyle extends the presentation layer assignment with capabilities to define visibility control, access control and common style information.

The visibility control allows to define a layer to be either 'on' or 'off', and/or 'frozen' or 'not frozen'. The access control allows to block graphical entities from manipulations by setting a layer to be either 'blocked' or 'not blocked'. Common style information can be given to the layer.
