Entity definition

The standard opening, IfcOpeningStandardCase, defines an opening with certain constraints for the dimension parameters, position within the voided element, and with certain constraints for the geometric representation. The IfcOpeningStandardCase handles all cases of openings, that:

2OwnerHistoryIfcOwnerHistory? Assignment of the information about the current ownership of that object, including owning actor, application, local identification and information captured about the recent changes of the object,
NOTE  only the last modification in stored - either as addition, deletion or modification.
IFC4 CHANGE  The attribute has been changed to be OPTIONAL.
X
3NameIfcLabel? Optional name for use by the participating software systems or users. For some subtypes of IfcRoot the insertion of the Name attribute may be required. This would be enforced by a where rule. X
