Entity definition

An IfcConic is a parameterized planar curve.

NOTE  Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
A conic is a planar curve which could be produced by intersecting a plane with a cone. A conic is defined in terms of its intrinsic geometric properties rather than being described in terms of other geometry. A conic entity always has a placement coordinate system defined by axis2_placement; the parametric representation is defined in terms of this placement coordinate system.

NOTE Entity adapted from conic defined in ISO 10303-42

@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.
