Semantic definitions at the entity
Entity definition

An IfcImageTexture provides a 2-dimensional texture that can be applied to a surface of an geometric item and that provides lighting parameters of a surface onto which it is mapped. The texture is provided as an image file at an external location for which an URL is provided.

The following definitions from ISO/IEC 19775-1 X3D Architecture and base components (X3D Specification) apply:

The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a form of an URI and specified in RFC1738 by IETF. It supports resources located on a particular server being accessed by a particular protocol (usually http), and resources located at a local machine.

NOTE  Exchange files following the ifcZIP convention may include a sub directory structure for image resources to be stored together with the product data set.

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.

1RepeatSIfcBoolean The RepeatS field specifies how the texture wraps in the S direction. If RepeatS is TRUE (the default), the texture map is repeated outside the [0.0, 1.0] texture coordinate range in the S direction so that it fills the shape. If RepeatS is FALSE, the texture coordinates are clamped in the S direction to lie within the [0.0, 1.0] range. X
2RepeatTIfcBoolean The RepeatT field specifies how the texture wraps in the T direction. If RepeatT is TRUE (the default), the texture map is repeated outside the [0.0, 1.0] texture coordinate range in the T direction so that it fills the shape. If RepeatT is FALSE, the texture coordinates are clamped in the T direction to lie within the [0.0, 1.0] range. X
3ModeIfcIdentifier? The Mode attribute is provided to control the appearance of a multi textures. The mode then controls the type of blending operation. The mode includes a MODULATE for a lit appearance, a REPLACE for a unlit appearance, and variations of the two.
NOTE  The applicable values for the Mode attribute are determined by view definitions or implementer agreements. It is recommended to use the modes described in ISO/IES 19775-1.2:2008 X3D Architecture and base components Edition 2, Part 1. See 18.4.3 MultiTexture for recommended values.
IFC4 CHANGE  New attribute replacing previous TextureType.
X
4TextureTransformIfcCartesianTransformationOperator2D? The TextureTransform defines a 2D transformation that is applied to the texture coordinates. It affects the way texture coordinates are applied to the surfaces of geometric representation itesm. The 2D transformation supports changes to the size, orientation, and position of textures on shapes. Mirroring is not allowed to be used in the IfcCartesianTransformationOperator X
5ParameterIfcIdentifier? L[1:?] The Parameter attribute is provided to control the appearance of a multi textures. The applicable parameters depend on the value of the Mode attribute.
NOTE  The applicable values for the list of Parameter attributes are determined by view definitions or implementer agreements. It is recommended to use the source and the function fields described in ISO/IES 19775-1.2:2008 X3D Architecture and base components Edition 2, Part 1. See 18.4.3 MultiTexture for recommended values.
By convention, Parameter[1] shall then hold the source value, Parameter[2] the function value, Parameter[3] the base RGB color for select operations, and Parameter[4] the alpha value for select operations.
IFC4 CHANGE  New attribute added at the end of the attribute list.
