Entity definition

A stair is a vertical passageway allowing occupants to walk (step) from one floor level to another floor level at a different elevation. It may include a landing as an intermediate floor slab.

NOTE  Definition according to ISO 6707-1: Construction comprising a succession of horizontal stages (steps or landings) that make it possible to pass on foot to other levels.

The IfcStair shall either be represented:

NOTE  In case of an IfcStair being the aggregate of all parts of the stair the aggregation is handled by the IfcRelAggregates relationship, relating an IfcStair with the related IfcStairFlight and landings, IfcSlab with PredefinedType=LANDING. IfcRailing's belonging to the stair may also be included into the aggregation.
NOTE  Model View Definitions and implementer agreements may restrict the IfcStair being an assembly to not have an independent shape representation, but to always require that the decomposed parts have a shape representation. In this case, at least the 'Body' geometric representations shall not be provided directly at IfcStair if it is an assembly. The 'Body' geometric representation of the IfcStair is then the sum of the 'Body' shape representation of the parts within the decomposition structure.
HISTORY  New entity in IFC2.0.
IFC4 CHANGE Attribute ShapeType renamed to PredefinedType.
Attribute definitions

Table 172 — IfcStair Property Sets for Objects



Material Solid

The Material Single concept applies to this entity.

The material of the IfcStair is defined by the IfcMaterial and attached by the IfcRelAssociatesMaterial.RelatingMaterial. It is accessible by the inverse HasAssociations relationship.

Material information can also be given at the IfcStairType, defining the common attribute data for all occurrences of the same type. It is then accessible by the inverse IsDefinedBy relationship pointing to IfcStair.HasAssociations and via IfcRelAssociatesMaterial.RelatingMaterial to IfcMaterial. If both are given, then the material directly assigned to IfcStair overrides the material assigned to IfcStairType.



Spatial Containment

The Spatial Containment concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 173.

RelatingStructureDescription
IfcBuildingStoreyDefault spatial container
IfcBuildingSpatial container for the element if it cannot be assigned to a building storey
IfcSiteSpatial container for the element in case that it is placed on site (outside of building)

Table 173 — IfcStair Spatial Containment

The IfcStair, as any subtype of IfcBuildingElement, may participate alternatively in one of the two different containment relationships:



Element Decomposition

The Element Decomposition concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 174.

IsDecomposedByRelatedObjectsDescription
IfcStairFlightStairs may be decomposed into stair flights.
IfcSlabStairs may be decomposed into stair landing, represented by IfcSlab.PredefinedType=LANDING
IfcRailingStairs may be decomposed into railings for zero, one, or both sides.

Table 174 — IfcStair Element Decomposition

Geometric representation by aggregated elements

If the IfcStair has components (referenced by SELF\IfcObject.IsDecomposedBy) with own 'Body' representation, then no 'Body' representation shall defined for the IfcStair. The IfcStair shape is then represented by the geometric representation of its components. The components are accessed via SELF\IfcObject.IsDecomposedBy[1].RelatedObjects.

Figure 251 illustrates stair placement, where the IfcStair defines the local placement for all components and the common 'Axis' representation, and each component has its own 'Body' representation.

stair

Figure 251 — Stair placement



Placement

The Product Local Placement concept template applies to this entity as shown in Table 175.

HasPlacementRelativeToElementDescription
IfcLocalPlacementRelative placement according to position and rotation relative to container.

Table 175 — IfcStair Product Local Placement

The following restriction may be imposed by view definitions or implementer agreements:



Axis 2D Geometry

The Axis 2D Geometry concept applies to this entity.

The walking line is represented by a two-dimensional open curve as the axis. The curve is directed into the upward direction (direction has to be interpreted as specified at the subtypes of IfcCurve).

NOTE  The 'Axis' representation of IfcStair may be provided even if the IfcStair has components with own shape representations.


Body SweptSolid Geometry

The Body SweptSolid Geometry concept applies to this entity.
