class Ifc4x2::IfcCurve : public Ifc4x2::IfcGeometricRepresentationItem

Definition from ISO/CD 10303-42:1992: A curve can be envisioned as the path of a point moving in its coordinate space.

NOTE: Corresponding ISO 10303 entity: curve, only the following subtypes have been incorporated into IFC: line as IfcLine, conic as IfcConic, bounded_curve as IfcBoundedCurve. Please refer to ISO/IS 10303-42:1994, p.37 for the final definition of the formal standard. The derived attribute Dim has been added (see also note at IfcGeometricRepresentationItem).

HISTORY: New entity in IFC Release 1.0

Informal proposition:

A curve shall be arcwise connected A curve shall have an arc length greater than zero.

Subclassed by Ifc4x2::IfcBoundedCurve, Ifc4x2::IfcConic, Ifc4x2::IfcLine, Ifc4x2::IfcOffsetCurve, Ifc4x2::IfcPcurve, Ifc4x2::IfcSurfaceCurve
