Entity definition

The standard window, IfcWindowStandardCase, defines a window with certain constraints for the provision of operation types, opening directions, frame and lining parameters, construction types and with certain constraints for the geometric representation. The IfcWindowStandardCase handles all cases of windows, that:

HISTORY  New entity in IFC4.

IfcWindow
9OverallHeightIfcPositiveLengthMeasure? Overall measure of the height, it reflects the Z Dimension of a bounding box, enclosing the window opening. If omitted, the OverallHeight should be taken from the geometric representation of the IfcOpening in which the window is inserted.

NOTE  The body of the window might be wider then the window opening (for example in cases where the window lining includes a casing). In these cases the OverallWidth shall still be given as the window opening width, and not as the total width of the window lining.
X
11PredefinedTypeIfcWindowTypeEnum? Predefined generic type for a window that is specified in an enumeration. There may be a property set given specificly for the predefined types.
