Entity definition

The objectified relationship IfcRelDefinesByTemplate defines the relationships between property set template and property sets. Common information about property sets, e.g. the applicable name, description, contained properties, is defined by the property set template and assigned to all property sets.

NOTE The assignment of an IfcPropertySetTemplate is supported for IfcPropertySet and IfcQuantitySet.

The IfcRelDefinesByTemplate is a 1-to-N relationship, as it allows for the assignment of one property set template to a single or to many property sets or quantity sets. Those property sets then share the same property set template definition.

HISTORY New entity in IFC4.
