This part of ISO 16757 describes the modelling of building services product geometry. The description is optimized for the interchange of product catalogue data and includes— shapes for representing the product itself,— symbolic shapes for the visualization of the product?s function in schematic diagrams,— spaces for functional requirements,— surfaces for visualization, and— ports to represent connectivity between different objects.
The shape and space geometry is expressed as Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) based on geometric
primitives concatenated to boundary representations by Boolean operations. This part of ISO 16757
uses the applicable primitives from ISO 10303-42 and from ISO 16739 and adds primitives which are
required for the special geometry of building services products. For symbolic shapes, line elements are
also used.
This part of ISO 16757 neither describes the inner structure and internal functionality of the product nor the manufacturing information because this is typically not published within a product catalogue.
Building services products can have millions of variant dimensions. To avoid the exchange of millions of geometries, a parametric model is introduced which allows the derivation of variant-specific geometries from the generic model. This is necessary to reduce the data to be exchanged in a catalogue to a manageable size. The parametric model will result in smaller data files, which can be easier transmitted during data exchanges.
The geometry model used does not contain any drawing information such as views, line styles or hatching.Cross References:ISO 16757-1ISO 6707-1ISO 16739:2013ISO 10303-11:2004ISO 10303-41ISO 10303-28ISO 10303-1ISO 12006-3ISO 13584-31ISO 10303-42:2014All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
