IfcAlignmentVerticalSegment - Gradient is an IfcLengthMeasure?

[pjanck]

I must have missed a discussion somewhere. What is the rationale that the IfcAlignmentVerticalSegment.Gradients are expressed as IfcLengthMeasure?

EDIT: markdown syntax

Should be IfcRatioMeasure, shouldn't it? It is a relic from RadiusOfCurvature.

Well, yes. I think. Looking at the changes from IFC4x3_RC1, it was an IfcRatioMeasure:

Thanks, will correct.

Hi all - I had reported this issue before (I checked, it was in the IFC Rail Sandbox). So obviously, there are different places to report IFC4.3 RC2 issues - lets agree on ONE place to offically log requests to schema and documentation changes.

How about here?
https://github.com/buildingSMART/IFC4.3.x-development/issues

and don't forget to also change EndGradient

This is done. Thanks for thinking about it.

Would be good but I would prefer here: https://github.com/buildingSMART/IFC/issues as it features the entire baseline, not just a part. Also, we will be merging all the changes from alignment into this repo.

I could go for either of the two. Seems we need a policy here @berlotti ?

[SergejMuhic]

Corrected.
