8.8.3.18 IfcFacetedBrep
8.8.3.18.1 Semantic definition
The IfcFacetedBrep is a manifold solid brep with the restriction that all faces are planar and bounded polygons.

The faceted B-rep has been introduced in order to support the larger number of systems that allow boundary type solid representations with planar surfaces only.
Informal Propositions
- All the bounding loops of all the faces of all the shells in the IfcFacetedBrep shall be of type IfcPolyLoop.
 - All vertices shall be referenced by all polyloops, sharing the vertex. I.e., each Cartesian point shall be references by at least three polyloops.
