Entity definition

An IfcPresentationLayerAssignmentWithStyle extends the presentation layer assignment with capabilities to define visibility control, access control and common style information.

The visibility control allows to define a layer to be either 'on' or 'off', and/or 'frozen' or 'not frozen'. The access control allows to block graphical entities from manipulations by setting a layer to be either 'blocked' or 'not blocked'. Common style information can be given to the layer.

NOTE  Style information assigned to layers is often restricted to 'layer colour', 'curve font', and/or 'curve width'. These styles are assigned by using the IfcCurveStyle within the LayerStyles.
NOTE  If a styled item is assigned to a layer using the IfcPresentationLayerAssignmentWithStyle, it inherits the style information from the layer. In this case, it should omit its own style information. If the styled item has style information assigned (such as by IfcCurveStyle, IfcFillAreaStyle, IfcTextStyle, IfcSurfaceStyle, IfcSymbolStyle), then it overrides the style provided by the IfcPresentationLayerAssignmentWithStyle.
NOTE  The IfcPresentationLayerAssignmentWithStyle extends the presentation_layer_assignment entity as defined in ISO/IS 10303-46:1994, p. 36.
