IfcAlignment2DVerSegTransition & IfcAlignment2DCantSegTransition

@stefan.markic emailed this:

Guys, just a question regarding cant-stuff:

Why is there an attribute of type “IfcTransitionCurveSegment2D” on “IfcAlignment2DVerSegTransition" as well as “IfcAlignment2DCantSegTransition" with doubling of attributes?

In the XMI, there was is an association as per below. This was ignored in previous conversions as the IDRef wasn’t recognized (Assumed to be obsolete 4.2 package reference) but in fixing this issue,
https://forums.buildingsmart.org/t/ifcdirectrixcurvesweptareasolid-and-ifcdirectrixdistancesweptareasolid/2615/4

What is this association and how is it tagged to be ignored in the xmi to ifcdoc conversion process?
I’m investigating further myself.

Thanks,

Jon

I downloaded XMI since posting, and the association in question doesn’t exist anymore, so this is solved.
