Semantic definitions at the entity
Entity definition

The IfcGeometricCurveSet is used for the exchange of shape representation consisting of an collection of (2D or 3D) points and curves only.

NOTE  Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
A geometric curve set is a collection of two or three dimensional points and curves.

NOTE  Entity adapted from geometric_curve_set defined in ISO 10303-42.

HISTORY  New entity in IFC2x2.

@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.
IFC2x3 CHANGE  The inverse attribute LayerAssignments has been added.
IFC4 CHANGE  The inverse attribute LayerAssignment has been restricted to max 1. Upward compatibility for file based exchange is guaranteed.

@Item
S[0:1]Reference to the IfcStyledItem that provides presentation information to the representation, e.g. a curve style, including colour and thickness to a geometric curve.
