IfcDoor

IfcDoor is a class within the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) schema, which is a standardized data model used in the building and construction industry for exchanging information about building data. The IFC schema is maintained by buildingSMART International, an organization dedicated to improving the efficiency and interoperability of the building and construction industry.

The IfcDoor class represents a door within a building model. It is a subclass of IfcBuildingElement, which means it inherits properties and behaviors common to all building elements. The IfcDoor class includes attributes that describe the physical and functional characteristics of a door, such as its size, material, and operational properties. For example, it can specify whether the door is a swinging door, a sliding door, or a revolving door, and it can include information about the door's opening direction, width, and height.

In addition to these attributes, the IfcDoor class can also include information about the door's relationship to other elements in the building model. For instance, it can specify which spaces the door connects, and it can include information about the door's location within the building's coordinate system. This makes it possible to integrate door information with other building data, such as the layout of rooms and the placement of other building elements.

The IfcDoor class is part of a larger framework that includes other classes for representing different types of building elements, such as walls, windows, and floors. This allows for the creation of comprehensive building models that can be used for a variety of purposes, including design, construction, and facility management. By using the IfcDoor class and other IFC classes, building professionals can ensure that information about doors and other building elements is accurately and consistently represented, facilitating better communication and collaboration throughout the building lifecycle.
