Hello everyone,
Customers would like to exchange road network through IFC. Is there any way do to so ?
For example, by connecting alignments. Is there an entity to connect alignments ?
Thank you,
Kevin.
Hi @kevin.nahaboo ,
As you might have seen in your other topic post, there is currently work going on in the road domain, in the Infrastructure Room.
As @TLiebich said there are infrastructure project currently going on to address domain specific issues such as Rail, Road, Water ways, Tunnel etc. You can always join Expert panels to get the in touch and influence the development which is in the first stage in the form of a UML conceptual model. If you are interested in participating I would encourage you to send an email to Infrastructure infrastructure@buildingsmart.org .
Hi, the support of alignment is new to IFC, first introduced in IFC4.1 and updated in IFC4.2 (currently candidate status). Check technical website for definitions.
In IFC4.1, only the IfcAlignment can hold property sets, where you can add such information for the whole alignment.
In IFC4.2 there is a new entity, IfcReferent , that defines a certain position along the alignment from which onwards certain criteria are applied. You can use this to define a design speed and other criteria.
IFC4.3 …
Please feel free to reach out the the Infrastructure Room managers and get involved!
