RVM Cylinders could be represented using the IfcRightCircularCylinder entity. The tool support for this entity is however poor:
Here a simple generated IFC file used for testing: cylinder-rightcircularcylinder.zip
Here the mapping in PMUC source code.
A better alternative is to map to an extruded circle using IfcExtrudedAreaSolid + IfcCircleProfileDef :white_circle:
Tool support is good:
Here a simple generated IFC file used for testing: cylinder-extruded-circle-profile.zip
Currently, Cylinders get tessellated and are represented as IfcConnectedFaceset. Find a suitable representation that represents the cylinder more efficient and information conserving.
