ifcopenshell.api.alignment.map_alignment_segments.map_alignment_segments(file: ifcopenshell.file, alignment: ifcopenshell.entity_instance, composite_curve: ifcopenshell.entity_instance) → None

Creates IfcCurveSegment entities for the supplied alignment business logic entity instance and assigns them to the composite curve. End-Start points of adjacent segments are evaluated and the IfcCurveSegment.Transition is set.

This function does not create an IfcShapeRepresentation. Use create_geometric_representation to create all the representations for an alignment. This function only populates the composite curve with IfcCurveSegment entities.

Parameters:

• alignment – The business logic alignment, expected to be IfcAlignmentHorizontal, IfcAlignmentVertical, or IfcAlignmentCant

• composite_curve – The IfcCompositeCurve (or subclass) which will receive the IfcCurveSegment

Returns:

None
