IfcOpeningElement

Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

The opening element stands for opening, recess or chase, all reflecting voids. It represents a void within any element that has physical manifestation. Openings can be inserted into walls, slabs, beams, columns, or other elements.

The IFC specification provides two entities for opening elements:

IfcOpeningStandardCase is used for all openings that have a constant profile along a linear extrusion. They are placed relative to the voided elements and the extrusion direction is perpendicular to the plane of the element (horizontally for walls, vertically for slabs). Only a single extrusion body is allowed. It cuts through the whole thickness of the voided element, i.e. it reflects a true opening.
IfcOpeningElement is used for all other occurrences of openings and in particular also for niches or recesses.

NOTE View definitions or implementer agreements may restrict the types of elements which can be voided by an IfcOpeningElement or IfcOpeningStandardCase

There are two different types of opening elements:

an opening, where the thickness of the opening is greater or equal to the thickness of the element;
a recess or niche, where the thickness of the recess is smaller than the thickness of the element.

The attribute PredefinedType should be used to capture the differences,

the attribute is set to OPENING for an opening or
the attribute is set to RECESS for a recess or niche.
If the value for PredefinedType is omitted, or the value is set to NOTDEFINED, no specific information of whether it is an opening or recess shall be assumed.

An IfcOpeningElement has to be inserted into an IfcElement by using the IfcRelVoidsElement relationship. It may be filled by an IfcDoor, IfcWindow, or another filling element by using the relationship IfcRelFillsElements. Depending on the type of the IfcShapeRepresentation of the IfcOpeningElement the voiding relationship implies:

if the IfcShapeRepresentation.<emRepresentationIdentifier = 'Body', then the Body shape represntation of the opening has to be subtracted from the body shape representation of the voided element - implicit Boolean difference operation.
if the IfcShapeRepresentation.<emRepresentationIdentifier = 'Reference', then the Reference shape representation of the opening is not subtracted, it is provided in addition to the hole in the Body shape representation of the voided element.

The IfcOpeningElement shall not participate in the containment relationship, i.e. it is not linked directly to the spatial structure of the project. It has a mandatory VoidsElements inverse relationship pointing to the IfcElement that is contained in the spatial structure.

The inverse relationship ContainedInStructure shall be NIL.

NOTE See IfcRelVoidsElement for a diagram on how to apply spatial containment and the voiding relationship.

Product Local Placement

The Product Local Placement concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 121.

Table 121 — IfcOpeningElement Product Local Placement

The local placement for IfcOpeningElement is defined in its supertype IfcProduct. It is defined by the IfcLocalPlacement, which defines the local coordinate system that is referenced by all geometric representations.

The PlacementRelTo relationship of IfcLocalPlacement should point to the local placement of the same element, which is voided by the opening, i.e. referred to by VoidsElement.RelatingBuildingElement.

Body Geometry

The Body Geometry concept applies to this entity.

The 'Body' representation of IfcOpeningElement can be represented using the representation types 'SweptSolid', and 'Brep'. The representation type 'Brep' is explained at IfcFeatureElement

Swept Solid Representation Type with Horizontal Extrusion

The 'SweptSolid' geometric representation of IfcOpeningElement, using horizontal extrusion direction (for walls), is defined using the swept area solid geometry. The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation shall be used:

RepresentationIdentifier : 'Body'
RepresentationType : 'SweptSolid'

The following additional constraints apply to the swept solid representation:

Solid: IfcExtrudedAreaSolid is required, the set of IfcShapeRepresentation.Items may include a single, or multiple, instances of IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.
Profile: IfcRectangleProfileDef, IfcCircleProfileDef and IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef shall be supported.
Extrusion: The profile shall be extruded horizontally (perpendicular to the extrusion direction of the voided element such as for wall openings), or vertically (in the extrusion direction of the voided element such as for for floor openings). If multiple instances of IfcExtrudedAreaSolid are used, the extrusion direction of each extrusion should be equal.

NOTE In case of non-parallel jambs, the shape representation shall be a 'SweptSolid' representation with vertical extrusion.

Figure 321 illustrates an opening with horizontal extrusion.

NOTE The local placement directions for the IfcOpeningElement are only given as an example, other directions are valid as well.

Figure 321 — Opening with full extrusion

Figure 322 illustrates an opening for a recess.

NOTE The local placement directions for the IfcOpeningElement are only given as an example, other directions are valid as well.

NOTE Rectangles are now defined centric, the placement location has to be set:

IfcCartesianPoint(XDim/2,YDim/2)

Figure 322 — Opening with recess extrusion

Swept Solid Representation with Vertical Extrusion

The 'SweptSolid' geometric representation of IfcOpeningElement, using vertical extrusion direction (for walls), is defined using the swept area solid geometry, however the extrusion direction may be vertical, i.e. in case of a wall opening, the extrusion would be in the direction of the wall height. The following attribute values for the IfcShapeRepresentation holding this geometric representation shall be used:

RepresentationIdentifier : 'Body'
RepresentationType : 'SweptSolid'

The following additional constraints apply to the swept solid representation:

Solid: IfcExtrudedAreaSolid is required, the set of IfcShapeRepresentation.Items may include a single, or multiple, instances of IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.
Profile: IfcRectangleProfileDef, IfcCircleProfileDef and IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef shall be supported.
Extrusion: The profile shall be extruded vertically, i.e. for wall openings along the extrusion direction of the voided element. If multiple instances of IfcExtrudedAreaSolid are used, the extrusion direction should be equal.

Vertical extrusions shall be used when an opening or recess has a non rectangular foot print geometry that does not change along the height of the opening or recess.

Figure 323 shows a vertical extrusion with multiple extrusion bodies for the opening. Each extrusion body has a different extrusion lenght.

NOTE The local placement directions for the IfcOpeningElement are only given as an example, other directions are valid as well.
