8.12.3.41 IfcTextureCoordinateGenerator

8.12.3.41.1 Semantic definition

The IfcTextureCoordinateGenerator describes a procedurally defined mapping function with input parameter to map 2D texture coordinates to 3D geometry vertices.

The TextureCoordinateGenerator supports the automatic generation of texture coordinates for geometric shapes.

8.12.3.41.3 Attributes

# Attribute Type Description
IfcTextureCoordinate (1)
1 Maps LIST [1:?] OF IfcSurfaceTexture

Reference to the one (or many in case of multi textures with identity transformation to geometric surfaces) subtype(s) of IfcSurfaceTexture that are mapped to a geometric surface by the texture coordinate transformation.

IfcTextureCoordinateGenerator (2)
2 Mode IfcLabel

The Mode attribute describes the algorithm used to compute texture coordinates. The following modes are recommended:

  • COORD: use vertex coordinates
  • COORD-EYE: use vertex coordinates transformed to camera space
3 Parameter OPTIONAL LIST [1:?] OF IfcReal

The parameters used as arguments by the function as specified by Mode.
