Relative placement places an object relative to another object. Usually the object that another object is placed relative to is the container of that object, e.g. the building storey contains a wall and the wall is placed relative to the building storey. However this is not always the case, e.g. a door is placed relative to the opening element that contains the door (concept = Fills element), but in IFCs the door is contained by the building storey (concept = Containment).
Relative placement also defines the offset (X,Y and Z) from the parent objects LCS and the direction of the coordinates (X and Z) relative to the parent objects LCS.Documents
