NOTE  Entity adapted from bounded_curve defined in ISO10303-42.
HISTORY  New entity in IFC1.0

Informal Propositions:

  1. A bounded curve has finite arc length.
  2. A bounded curve has a start point and an end point.

@AssignedItems
S[0:1]Assignment of the representation item to a single or multiple layer(s). The LayerAssignments can override a LayerAssignments of the IfcRepresentation it is used within the list of Items.
IFC2x3 CHANGE  The inverse attribute LayerAssignments has been added.
IFC4 CHANGE  The inverse attribute LayerAssignment has been restricted to max 1. Upward compatibility for file based exchange is guaranteed.
