Plumbing fixture

Definition

The current support for the concept of 'Plumbing fixture' is limited to the plumbing fixtures that are usually drawn into architecture drawings. The plumbing that connects these fixtures is not supported.

2D Geometry

• Plumbing fixtures do not have any geometry use definitions, and consequently the geometry does not have any semantics. The geometry is purely for representation purposes.
• As the basic representation the bounding box should be provided.
• Brep geometry may be used for the 3D representation
• 2D geometry may be used for the symbolic 2D representation.
