Entity definition

The IfcTextureCoordinateGenerator describes a procedurally defined mapping function with input parameter to map 2D texture coordinates to 3D geometry vertices. The allowable Mode values and input Parameter need to be agreed upon in view definitions and implementer agreements.

NOTE It is recommended to use the texture coordinate generation modes as defined in X3D.

NOTE Definition according to ISO/IEC 19775-1:

The TextureCoordinateGenerator supports the automatic generation of texture coordinates for geometric shapes.
The mode field describes the algorithm used to compute texture coordinates.

NOTE The definitions of texturing within this standard have been developed in dependence on the texture component of X3D. See ISO/IEC 19775-1.2:2008 X3D Architecture and base components Edition 2, Part 1, 18 Texturing component for the definitions in the international standard.

HISTORY New entity in IFC2x2.

IFC2x2 Add2 CHANGE The attribute Texture has been deleted.
