IfcSweptSurface

IfcSweptSurface

Definition from ISO/CD 10303-42:1992: A swept surface is one that is constructed by sweeping a curve along another curve.

NOTE: Corresponding STEP entity: swept_surface. Please refer to ISO/IS 10303-42:1994, p.76 for the final definition of the formal standard.

Attribute definitions:

SweptCurve	:	The curve to be swept in defining the surface. The curve is defined as a profile within the position coordinate system.
Position	:	Position coordinate system for the placement of the profile within the xy plane of the axis placement.
Dim	:	The space dimensionality of this class, derived from the dimensionality of the Position.
