IfcPropertySingleValue
Definition from IAI: A property with a single value
(IfcPropertySingleValue) defines a property object which has a single
(numeric or descriptive) value assigned. It defines a property - single value
combination for which the property name, the value with measure type (and
optionally the unit) is given.
The unit is handled by the Unit attribute:
- If the Unit attribute is not given, then the unit is already
implied by the type of IfcMeasureValue or IfcDerivedMeasureValue.
The associated unit can be found at the IfcUnitAssignment globally
defined at the project level (IfcProject.UnitsInContext).
- If the Unit attribute is given, then the unit assigned by the
Unit attribute overrides the globally assigned unit.
Examples of a property with single value are:
