Each object that is a subclass of IfcObject can be contained by a container. The valid containers are:
- IfcProject (contains IfcSite)
- IfcSite (contains IfcBuilding)
- IfcBuilding (contains IfcBuildingStorey)
- IfcBuildingStorey (contains the objects in the building storey)
- IfcSpace (can also act as an container).
The building storey contains the spaces in the building storey. If spaces contain e.g. furniture then the furniture is not contained by the building storey. All objects that need to be contained have to be contained by one and only one container. Please see the document below for more details.
