3.11.3 Surface Geometry

90.1-2019

This data structure represents the location, size, and position of a surface. Surfaces include roofs, walls, floors, and partitions. Surfaces are typically planar and can be represented in various manners, including the following:

  • Rectangular surfaces may be represented by a height and width along with the X, Y, and Z of surface origin and the tilt and azimuth
  • Surfaces may also be represented by a series of vertices (X, Y, and Z coordinates defining the vertices of a surface). More complex polygons may be represented in this manner.
