Entity definition

Individual segment along the IfcAlignment2DHorizontal, being defined in the x/y coordinate space. Each single horizontal alignment segment has an associated curve geometry. The following segment curve types are defined by the CurveGeometry:

For each horizontal segment, the following non-redundant information is provided:

The following information can be calculated (and is therefore not exchanged explicitly to avoid redundancy and inconsistencies)

The following checks can be done to validate the correct exchange:
