Documentation The TopoVolume type and element represent a homogeneous topological expression, a set of directed TopoSolids, which if realised are isomorphic to a geometric solid primitive. The intended use of TopoVolume is to appear within a 3D solid feature instance to express the structural and geometric relationships of this solid to other features via the shared TopoSolid definitions. . Note the orientation assigned to the directedSolid has no meaning in three dimensions. It is preserved for symmetry with the preceding types and elements.

'Multiple names may be provided. These will often be distinguished by being assigned by different authorities, as indicated by the value of the codeSpace attribute. In an instance document there will usually only be one name per authority.'
