Entity definition

The IfcStyledItem holds presentation style information for products, either explicitly for an IfcGeometricRepresentationItem being part of an IfcShapeRepresentation assigned to a product, or by assigning presentation information to IfcMaterial being assigned as other representation for a product.

NOTE  Definition according to ISO/CD 10303-46:1992
The styled item is an assignment of style for presentation to a geometric representation item as it is used in a representation.

NOTE  Entity adapted from styled_item defined in ISO10303-46.
