Description

Originally by Nick Nisbet here: https://forums.buildingsmart.org/t/how-is-assemblyplace-determined/2472

The AssemblyPlace can be set to FACTORY, OFFSITE, SITE, OTHER, NOTKNOWN, UNSET

Firstly, what's up with UNSET? Why isn't it NOTDEFINED?

The description currently states:

> Enumeration defining where the assembly is intended to take place, either in a factory or on the building site.

Nick provides two possible interpretations:

1. where is ‘it’ (as a whole) assembled from its parts (FACTORY, OFFSITE or SITE)
2. where ‘it’ (as a part) is assembled into a bigger assembly (FACTORY, OFFSITE or SITE) or into the building (SITE).

Sergej votes "Vote 1. as the location in the building would be in local placement and inside a bigger assembly would be in local placement of that assembly."
