# 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.

Last change: Improve definition split (#876) * bring back headers headers were previously removed by mistake, now bringing them back * add new lines and rename the tag add the word 'short' in it * unify newlines make exactly one newline before and two after the tag * resolving typos Because bringing back headers required to go back in time to previous version, I'm now re-resolving the issues: #861, #860, #856 by ArturTomczak on 2024-07-16T16:07:28+02:00
