8.8.3.17 IfcFaceBasedSurfaceModel
8.8.3.17.1 Semantic definition
The IfcFaceBasedSurfaceModel represents the a shape by connected face sets. The connected faces have a dimensionality 2 and are placed in a coordinate space of dimensionality 3.
Informal Propositions
- The connected face sets shall not overlap or intersect except at common faces, edges or vertices.
 - The fbsm faces have dimensionality 2.
