Entity definition

An IfcPropertyListValue defines a property that has several (numeric or descriptive) values assigned, these values are given by an ordered list. It defines a property - list value combination for which the property Name, an optional Description, the optional ListValues with measure type and optionally an Unit is given. An IfcPropertyListValue is a list of values. The order in which values appear is significant. All list members shall be of the same type.

The unit is handled by the Unit attribute, see Table 772 for an example of a list property:

NOTE  An IfcPropertyListValue may be exchanged with no values assigned yet. In this case the ListValues are set to NIL.
