Entity definition

The text literal is a geometric representation item which describes a text string using a string literal and additional position and path information. The text size and appearance is determined by the IfcTextStyle that is associated to the IfcTextLiteral through an IfcStyledItem.

The text string is placed within the planar extent (the box) defined within the subtype IfcTextLiteralWithExtent.

NOTE  Entity adapted from text_literal defined in ISO10303-46

HISTORY  New entity in IFC2x2.

IFC2x3 CHANGE  The IfcTextLiteral has been changed by removing Font and Alignment.

DEPRECATION  The use of IfcTextLiteral is deprecated and it will be made abstract.
