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

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:

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).

HISTORY  New entity in IFC2x2.
