When we talk about BIM concepts, we refer to objects such as walls, doors, and windows. Sometimes we refer to non-object elements like buildings, materials, and annotations. We also refer to other concepts such as coordinates, properties, and geometry. Each distinct noun, element, object, or concept that we refer to is called a "class" in IFC, and is what gives the name [[Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)]]. The jargon "class", instead of the more widely understandable term "element" or "concept" is borrowed from the software development industry, and remains with us today. | When we talk about BIM concepts, we refer to objects such as walls, doors, and windows.
