Type definition

The IfcReflectanceMethodEnum defines the range of different reflectance methods available.

HISTORY  New enumeration type in IFC2x2.

Enumeration definition
ConstantDescription
BLINNA reflectance model providing a smooth, slightly shiny appearance.
FLATA reflectance model providing a constant colour. This model ignores the effect of all light sources.
GLASSA reflectance model that supports an approximation of glass-like materials that have both reflective and transmissive properties.
MATTA reflectance model providing a dull matte appearance.
METALA reflectance model providing a specular metallic appearance.
MIRRORA reflectance model that supports secondary mirrored views through ray tracing.
PHONGA reflectance model conforming with the Phong model in which reflections are greatest in the `mirror' direction of a surface opposite the viewing direction with respect to the surface normal.
PLASTICA reflectance model providing a specular effect which is similar to the Phong model.
STRAUSSA reflectance model for metallic and non-metallic appearance based on a limited set of control parameter.
