Use Definitions

NOTE: The product representations are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct, which get assigned by an element occurrence instance through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item[1] being an IfcMappedItem.

A cable segment type is used to define the common properties of a cable segment that may be applied to many occurrences of that type. A cable segment is used to typically join two sections of an electrical network or a network of components carrying the electrical service. Cable segment types may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcCableSegmentType are represented by instances of IfcFlowSegment or its subtypes.
