Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

The IfcRectangularTrimmedSurface is a surface created by bounding its BasisSurface along two pairs of parallel curves defined within the parametric space of the referenced surface.

NOTE Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-42:1992
The trimmed surface is a simple bounded surface in which the boundaries are the constant parametric lines u₁ = u1, u₂ = u2, v₁ = v1 and v₂ = v2. All these values shall be within the parametric range of the referenced surface. Cyclic properties of the parameter range are assumed. The rectangular trimmed surface inherits its parameterization directly from the basis surface and has parameter ranges from 0 to |u₂ - u₁| and 0 to|v₂-v₁|.

NOTE If the surface is closed in a given parametric direction, the values of u₂ or v₂ may require to be increased by the cyclic range.

EXAMPLE 370 degrees is equivalent to 10 degrees, for those surfaces whose parametric form is defined using circular functions (sine and cosine).

NOTE Entity adapted from rectangular_trimmed_surface in ISO 10303-42.

HISTORY New entity in IFC2x.

Informal Propositions:

The domain of the trimmed surface shall be within the domain of the surface being trimmed.
