The standard column, IfcColumnStandardCase, defines a column with certain constraints for the provision of material usage, parameters and with certain constraints for the geometric representation. The IfcColumnStandardCase handles all cases of columns, that:
NOTE View definitions and implementer agreements may further constrain the applicable geometry types, e.g. by excluding tapering from an IfcBeamStandardCase implementation.
HISTORY New entity in IFC4.
Geometric Representations
The geometric representation of IfcColumnStandardCase is defined using the following multiple shape representations for its definition:
NOTE It is invalid to exchange a 'SurfaceModel', 'Brep', or 'MappedRepresentation' representation for the 'Body' shape representation of an IfcColumnStandardCase.
| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| HasMaterialProfileSetUsage | A valid instance of IfcColumnStandardCase relies on the provision of an IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage. |

| IsTypedBy | IfcRelDefinesByType @RelatedObjects | S[0:1] | Set of relationships to the object type that provides the type definitions for this object occurrence.

| 6 | ObjectPlacement | IfcObjectPlacement | [0:1] | Placement of the product in space, the placement can either be absolute (relative to the world coordinate system), relative (relative to the object placement of another product), or constraint (e.g. relative to grid axes). It is determined by the various subtypes of IfcObjectPlacement, which includes the axis placement information to determine the transformation for the object coordinate system. | X |
| 7 | Representation | IfcProductRepresentation | [0:1] | Reference to the representations of the product, being either a representation (IfcProductRepresentation) or as a special case a shape representations (IfcProductDefinitionShape). The product definition shape provides for multiple geometric representations of the shape property of the object within the same object coordinate system, defined by the object placement. | X |

| HasOpenings | IfcRelVoidsElement @RelatingBuildingElement | S[0:?] | Reference to the IfcRelVoidsElement relationship that creates an opening in an element. An element can incorporate zero-to-many openings. For each opening, that voids the element, a new relationship IfcRelVoidsElement is generated. | X | |

| IfcColumn | |||||
| 9 | PredefinedType | IfcColumnTypeEnum | [0:1] |
Predefined generic type for a column that is specified in an enumeration. There may be a property set given specificly for the predefined types.
NOTE The PredefinedType shall only be used, if no IfcColumnType is assigned, providing its own IfcColumnType.PredefinedType. | X |
| IfcColumnStandardCase | |||||
Columns are used to represent linear members with primary function of vertical axial loading such as the vertical portion of a pier. The general definition IfcColumn defines a fixed shape, while the subtype IfcColumnStandardCase allows for parametric resizing.
Material Profile Set Usage
The Material Profile Set Usage concept applies to this entity.
The IfcColumnStandardCase defines in addition that the IfcColumnType should have a unique IfcMaterialProfileSet, that is referenced by the IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage assigned to all occurrences of this IfcColumnType. Composite profile columns can be represented by refering to several IfcMaterialProfile's within the IfcMaterialProfileSet that is referenced from the IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage.
Figure 177 illustrates assignment of IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage and IfcMaterialProfileSet to the IfcColumnStandardCase as the column occurrence and to the IfcColumnType. The same IfcMaterialProfileSet shall be shared by many occurrences of IfcMaterialProfileSetUsage. This relationship shall be consistent to the relationship between the IfcColumnType and the IfcColumnStandardCase.

Figure 178 illustrates cardinal point alignment.
NOTE It has to be guaranteed that the use of IfcCardinalPointEnum is consistent to the placement of the extrusion body provided by IfcExtrudedAreaSolid.Position
NOTE The cardinal points 7 (top left), and 6 (mid-depth right) are assigned according to the definition at IfcCardinalPointReference

Figure 179 illustrates assignment of a composite profile by using IfcCompositeProfile for geometric representation and several IfcMaterialProfile's within the IfcMaterialProfileSet. The number of IfcMaterialProfile's within the IfcMaterialProfileSet is restricted to maximal 2 and requires the use of IfcExtrudedAreaSolidTapered, or IfcRevolvedAreaSolidTapered for the correct 'Body' shape representation.
