8.14.3.2 IfcLightIntensityDistribution

8.14.3.2.1 Semantic definition

IfcLightIntensityDistribution defines the the luminous intensity of a light source that changes according to the direction of the ray. It is based on some standardized light distribution curves, which are defined by the LightDistributionCurve attribute.

# Attribute Type Description
IfcLightIntensityDistribution (2)
1 LightDistributionCurve IfcLightDistributionCurveEnum

Standardized light distribution curve used to define the luminous intensity of the light in all directions.

2 DistributionData LIST [1:?] OF IfcLightDistributionData

Light distribution data applied to the light source. It is defined by a list of main plane angles (B or C according to the light distribution curve chosen) that includes (for each B or C angle) a second list of secondary plane angles (the β or γ angles) and the according luminous intensity distribution measures.
