Separating Plane Related Geometry

Class Name: Separating Plane Related Geometry

Superclass - <Aggregate Geometry>

Subclasses

This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class specifies an aggregation of <Geometry Representation> instances, where the components are organized based on their relationships with a set of <Separating Plane> instances. A component is either on the SE_TRUE or SE_FALSE side of any <Separating Plane> instance to which the component is related.

Example

  1. Consider a <Geometry Model> instance representing a house, consisting of a <Geometry Model Instance> instance of a <Model> instance representing a chimney and a <Union Of Primitive Geometry> instance containing the <Polygon> components representing the rest of the structure.

    The geometry of the <Geometry Model> instance in this case is organized as a <Separating Plane Related Geometry> instance containing one <Separating Plane Relations> component, the <Separating Plane> component of which describes the plane of the portion of the roof on which the chimney is placed. The branch of the <Separating Plane Relations> component through the <Separating Plane Data> link object with positive = SE_TRUE contains the chimney <Geometry Model Instance> instance, while the other branch contains the rest of the geometry of the house model, represented by the <Union Of Primitive Geometry> instance as depicted in Figure 59:

Notes

Associated to Notes


Feature_Representation

An association between a <Feature Representation> instance and a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship.


Geometry_Hierarchy

An association between two <Geometry Hierarchy> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship.

Hierarchy_Summary_Item

An association from a <Hierarchy Summary Item> instance to a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the <Hierarchy Summary Item> instance summarizes that <Geometry Hierarchy> instance.


Reference_Surface

An association from a <Reference Surface> instance to a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the <Geometry Hierarchy> instance organizes the geometric objects that specify the reference surface geometry of the <Reference Surface> instance.

Composed of Notes


Collision_Volume

In the case where multiple <Collision Volume> components are specified for the <Aggregate Geometry> instance, the union of the volumes thus specified is used in collision detection.


LSR_Transformation

An <Aggregate Geometry> instance can have an <LSR Transformation> component only when the <Aggregate Geometry> instance is within the scope of an LSR 3D SRF.

Fields Notes

unique_descendants

If the value of the unique_descendants field is SE_TRUE, each descendant of this aggregation, that is, each <Geometry Representation> instance that exists in the component tree rooted at the <Aggregate Geometry> instance shall be unique, in the sense that it shall appear in only one branch of this aggregation. If unique_descendants is SE_FALSE, at least one <Geometry Representation> instance appears in more than one branch of the aggregation.

strict_organizing_principle

If the value of the strict_organizing_principle field is SE_TRUE, each branch of this aggregation strictly complies with the organizing principle for its particular subclass. If this value is SE_FALSE, at least one branch does not strictly comply with the given organizing principle. See the organizing principle constraint for each specific subclass for details.
