##### Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

The map conversion deals with transforming the local engineering coordinate system, often called world coordinate system, into the coordinate reference system of the underlying map.

> NOTE The IfcMapConversion does not handle the projection of a map from the geodetic coordinate reference system.

The map conversion allows to convert the local origin of the local engineering coordinate system to its place within a map (easting, northing, orthogonal height) and to rotate the x-axis of the local engineering coordinate system within the horizontal (easting/westing) plane of the map.

> NOTE The z axis of the local engineering coordinate system is always parallel to the z axis of the map coordinate system.

The scale factor can be used when the length unit for the 3 axes of the map coordinate system are not identical with the length unit established for this project (see IfcProject.UnitsInContext), if omitted, the scale factor 1.0 is assumed.
