Entity 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.

HISTORY  New entity in IFC2x.

Formal Propositions
RuleDescription
FirstOperandTypeThe first operand of the Boolean clipping operation shall be either an IfcSweptAreaSolid or (in case of more than one clipping) an IfcBooleanResult.
SecondOperandTypeThe second operand of the Boolean clipping operation shall be an IfcHalfSpaceSolid.
OperatorTypeThe Boolean operator for clipping is always "Difference".

@AssignedItems
S[0:1]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.
