Actor Assignment

The Actor Assignment concept applies to this entity as shown in Table 50.

Type | Description
--- | ---
IfcSpatialStructureElement | Indicates the property to be occupied from a contract perspective but does not imply particular times of occupancy. Particular details of the agreement relating to the occupancy of a property are dealt within the Pset_PropertyAgreement that is defined for the instance of IfcSpatialStructureElement. This means that an occupant may be related to a site, building, building storey or space through the IfcSpatialStructureElement.ElementComposition attribute. For instance, if the property concerned is several office spaces on a building storey, it might be appropriate to reference IfcBuildingStorey.ElementComposition=PARTIAL. Occupants of a property may be considered to be the parties to an agreement. The roles that the occupant may play in respect to an agreement are defined in the IfcOccupantTypeEnum enumeration. If the role is not specified by the predefined contents of this enumeration, the value USERDEFINED may be set and the ObjectType attribute asserted.
IfcWorkCalendar | Indicates a particular calendar for occupying assigned spaces, where such calendar has assigned spaces.
IfcWorkPlan | Utility providers may establish work plans indicating available service plans, which contain applicable calendars, rate structures, and have assigned electrical distribution systems.
