Introduction
IfcMaterial retain information about «real world» material with their thermal, energy, optical, mechanical etc… properties.
Visible color in authoring software might be related to IfcStyle rather than material. Styles are more a virtual ways to display objects in authoring software including line style (border, axis etc…) a color representing what kind of fluid flows in a duct or a pipe etc…
General case
Following diagram shows how materials are related to their object. Any child of IfcObjectDefinition as IfcWall, IfcDuct etc… can get a material assigned this way :
Typical usages
IFC materials can be set using different ways depending on complexity and shape.
Material Constituent Set
A typical usage for material constituent set is a door or a window made of different part like frame + glass :
Material Layer Set
Typical usage for material layer set is a wall which is often made of multiple layers as concrete + insulation + plaster :
Material Profile Set
Typical usage for material profile set is a duct, pipe or reinforcement bar :
