ifc_geometry/input/context.rs
1//! Representation contexts and the sub-contexts drawings are authored into.
2//!
3//! # Why this matters beyond geometry
4//!
5//! Every `IfcRepresentation` names a context. A 3D viewer can ignore it -- all
6//! the geometry it wants sits in the one `Model` context. Drawing production
7//! cannot: a floor plan is *defined* as the geometry authored into a
8//! sub-context whose `TargetView` is `PLAN_VIEW`. Without reading contexts
9//! there is no way to tell a plan curve from a centreline.
10//!
11//! # The `*` trap
12//!
13//! `IfcGeometricRepresentationSubContext` redeclares six inherited attributes
14//! as DERIVED. Real files write them as `*`:
15//!
16//! ```text
17//! IFCGEOMETRICREPRESENTATIONSUBCONTEXT('Body','Model',*,*,*,*,#1,$,.MODEL_VIEW.,$)
18//! ```
19//!
20//! `*` is not `$`. It means "this value lives on my parent", so a sub-context's
21//! precision, coordinate dimension and world coordinate system must be resolved
22//! by walking to `ParentContext`. Reading the slot directly yields the marker,
23//! and a consumer that treats it as absent silently loses the project's
24//! precision and placement.
