8.18.3.9 IfcProductDefinitionShape
8.18.3.9.1 Semantic definition
The IfcProductDefinitionShape defines all shape relevant information about an IfcProduct. It allows for multiple geometric shape representations of the same product. The shape relevant information includes:
- the shape representation including geometric representation items (for 3D solids, 2D annotations, etc.) and:
- associated presentation information (line color, line type, surface rendering properties)
 - assignment to presentation layers (CAD layers for visibility control)
 
 - or the topological representation items for connectivity systems (vertex, edge, face representations) that may include geometric representation items (vertex points, edge curves, face surfaces)
