Postal address - how to check?

[marszulc]

Hello,
I need to check the AddressLines attribute of Postal address and I tried it in multiple ways but none of them worked.

This is one of my ideas:

<specification name="Building Address" ifcVersion="IFC2X3" description="Check if building address is xxxxxx">
		    <applicability minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" >
			    <entity>
				    <name>
					    <simpleValue>IFCBUILDING</simpleValue>
					</name>
				</entity>
			</applicability>
			<requirements>
				<attribute>
					<name>
					    <simpleValue>IfcPostalAddress</simpleValue>
					</name>
					<value>
						<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
                        <xs:enumeration value="xxxxx" />
                        <xs:enumeration value="yyyyy" />
			<xs:enumeration value="zzzz" />
						
                        </xs:restriction>
					</value>
				</attribute>
			</requirements>
		</specification>

Is it anyhow possible?

IfcPostalAddress is a tricky entity within an entity, and that's also why it was deprecated in IFC4.3. It's better to use Pset_Address for this.

BTW, you didn't tell it that you are interested in AddressLines.

Assuming you want to achieve this in IFC2x3, I propose that you just move IfcPostalAddress to applicability and forget the IfcBuilding:

<applicability minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
	<entity>
		<name>
			<simpleValue>IFCPOSTALADDRESS</simpleValue>
		</name>
	</entity>
</applicability>
<requirements>
	<attribute>
		<name>
			<simpleValue>AddressLines</simpleValue>
		</name>
		<value>
			<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
				<xs:enumeration value="xxxxx"/>
				<xs:enumeration value="yyyyy"/>
				<xs:enumeration value="zzzz"/>
			</xs:restriction>
		</value>
	</attribute>
</requirements>
