Proposal for Location to fall back to the referenced IfcExternalInformation if null

Open Moult opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

IfcExternalInformation like IfcDocumentInformation, IfcLibraryInformation, IfcClassification has an inherited Location.

The references to the document / library / classification, (i.e. subclasses of IfcExternalReference) all also have an inherited Location.

The external reference may be associated back to the external information.

I think it makes sense to state that if the external reference Location is set to null, the next place to check for a location would be the external information's Location as a fallback.

Does this make sense? Should a sentence be written about it in the docs?
