The IfcWallStandardCase defines a wall with certain constraints for the provision of parameters and with certain constraints for the geometric representation. The IfcWallStandardCase handles all cases of walls, that are extruded vertically:
and have a single thickness along the path for each wall layer, i.e.:
and have either:
and shall not have
The following parameter have to be provided:
The IfcWallStandardCase requires the provision of the wall axis either a straight line that is parallel to the x-axis of the object coordinate system, or a circular arc where the tangent at start is parallel to the x-axis of the object coordinate system. The direction of the wall axis shall be the positive direction of that x-axis.
The material of the wall is defined by the IfcMaterialLayerSetUsage and is attached by the IfcRelAssociatesMaterial objectified relationship. It is accessible by the inverse HasAssociations relationship. The material layer set usage has to be given (enforced by where rule).
An 'Axis' and a 'Body' shape representation has to be provided, and it is invalid to exchange a 'Tessellation', 'SurfaceModel', 'Brep' or 'MappedRepresentation' representation for the 'Body' shape representation of the IfcWallStandardCase.

Material Layer Set Usage
The Material Layer Set Usage concept applies to this entity.
Multi-layer walls can be represented by refering to several IfcMaterialLayer's within the IfcMaterialLayerSet that is referenced from the IfcMaterialLayerSetUsage.
Material information can also be given at the IfcWallType, defining the common attribute data for all occurrences of the same type. It is then accessible by the inverse IsDefinedBy relationship pointing to IfcSlabType.HasAssociations and via IfcRelAssociatesMaterial.RelatingMaterial.
The IfcWallType should then have a unique IfcMaterialLayerSet, that is referenced by the IfcMaterialLayerSetUsage assigned to all occurrences of this IfcWallType.
 |
EXAMPLE Figure 386 illustrates assignment of IfcMaterialLayerSetUsage and IfcMaterialLayerSet to the wall type and the wall occurrence. |
Figure 386 — Wall Standard Object Typing |
Figure 387 illustrates material layer usage, where the following conventions shall be met:

Product Placement
The Product Local Placement concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 249.
Table 249 — IfcWallStandardCase Product Local Placement |
The following restriction is imposed:
Axis 2D Geometry
The Axis 2D Geometry concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 250.
Table 250 — IfcWallStandardCase Axis 2D Geometry |
The wall axis is represented by a two-dimensional open curve within a particular shape representation. The wall axis is used to apply the material layer set usage parameter to the wall geometry.
 |
EXAMPLE Figure 388 illustrates an axis representation for a straight wall. In case of a straight wall, the set of items shall include a single geometric representation item of type IfcPolyline or IfcTrimmedCurve with the BasisCurve being an IfcLine. The IfcPolyline or IfcTrimmedCurve shall be parallel (here in a special case co-linear) to the x-axis of the object coordinate system. The direction shall be identical to the direction of the x-axis. |
Figure 388 — Wall axis straight |
 |
EXAMPLE Figure 389 illustrates an axis representation for a curved wall. In case of a curved wall, the set of items shall include a single geometric representation item of type IfcTrimmedCurve. The curve shall have a BasisCurve of type IfcCircle. The tangent of the IfcTrimmedCurve shall be parallel at start to the x-axis of the object coordinate system. The direction shall be identical to the direction of the x-axis. |

Body SweptSolid Geometry
The Body SweptSolid Geometry concept applies to this entity.
The following additional constraints apply to the 'SweptSolid' representation:
The profile of a wall is described in the ground view and extruded vertically. The profile (also identical with the foot print of the wall) is defined by the IfcArbitraryClosedProfileDef (excluding its subtypes). The profile is given with all wall connections already resolved.
Figure 390 illustrates a body representation for a straight wall. In case of a straight wall, the two sides of the profile shall be parallel to the wall axis, that is, the wall has a single unchanged thickness.
Figure 391 illustrates a body representation for a curved wall. In case of a curved wall, the two sides of the profile shall be parallel (with defined offset) to the wall axis, that is, the wall has a single unchanged thickness.
