Definition from IAI: The IfcConnectionGeometry is used to
describe the geometric and topological constraints that facilitate the physical
connection of two objects. It is envisioned as a control that applies to the
element connection relationships.
NOTE: The element connection relationship normally
provides for a logical connection information, by referencing the relating and
related elements. If in addition an IfcConnectionGeometry is provided, a
physical connection information is given by specifying exactly where at the
relating and related element the element connection
occurs.
In the current IFC Release, IfcConnectionGeometry is restricted
to geometric constraints and those of the connection type subtypes:
- point,
- line,
- surface,
- profile.
