IfcLightDistributionData

Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

IfcLightDistributionData defines the luminous intensity of a light source given at a particular main plane angle. It is based on some standardized light distribution curves; the MainPlaneAngle is either the

A angle; if the IfcLightDistributionCurveEnum is set to TYPE_A
B angle; if the IfcLightDistributionCurveEnum is set to TYPE_B
C angle; if the IfcLightDistributionCurveEnum is set to TYPE_C

For each MainPlaneAngle (considered as being the row of a table) a list of SecondaryPlaneAngle's are given (considered to be the columns of a table). They are either the:

α angle; if the IfcLightDistributionCurveEnum is set to TYPE_A
β angle; if the IfcLightDistributionCurveEnum is set to TYPE_B
γ angle; if the IfcLightDistributionCurveEnum is set to TYPE_C

For each pair of MainPlaneAngle and SecondaryPlaneAngle the LuminousIntensity is provided (the unit is given by the IfcUnitAssignment referring to the LuminousIntensityDistributionUnit, normally cd/klm).
