8.6.3.5 IfcPropertySingleValue

Propriété à valeur simple
Merkmal mit Einzelwert

The property with a single value IfcPropertySingleValue defines a property object which has a single (numeric or descriptive) value assigned. It defines a property - single value combination for which the property Name, an optional Description, and an optional NominalValue with measure type is provided. In addition, the default unit as specified within the project unit context can be overriden by assigning an Unit.

The unit is handled by the Unit attribute, see Table 51 for an example of various single value properties:

 

Name NominalValue Type (through IfcValue) Unit
Description Manufacturer "A" door IfcLabel -
PanelThickness 0.12 IfcPositiveLengthMeasure -
ThermalTransmittance 2.6 IfcThermalTransmittanceMeasure W/(m2K)
