Description
I'm trying to export a Revit light source to an IfcLamp so that I can specify the lamp type (e.g. LED) and properties. Is this possible? I've tried and only the light fixture seems to come through.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how Revit light sources and light fixtures are represented during IFC export, then compare the resulting entities with the requested IfcLamp type and properties. Done means determining whether lamp type and properties can be exported, with a documented limitation if the exporter only supports the fixture.
