Definition from IAI: The IfcConnectionPointGeometry is
used to describe the geometric constraints that facilitate the physical
connection of two objects at a point (here IfcCartesianPoint). It is
envisioned as a control that applies to the element connection relationships.
EXAMPLE: The connection relationship between two path
based elements (like a column and a beam) has a geometric constraint which
describes the connection points by a PointOnRelatingElement for the
column and a PointOnRelatedElement for the beam. The exact usage of the
IfcConnectionPointGeometry is later defined at the geometry use sections
of the elements, using it.
HISTORY: New entity in IFC Release 1.5,
has been renamed from IfcPointConnectionGeometry in IFC 2x.
ISSUE: See issue
log for changes made in IFC Release 1.5 and IFC 2x.
Geometry Use Definitions:
The Cartesian point defines the point where the basic geometry items of
the connected elements connects.
