LMiterJoint

class compas_timber.connections.LMiterJoint(assembly, beam_a, beam_b, cutoff=None)[source]

Represents an L-Miter type joint which joins two beam in their ends, trimming them with a plane at the bisector angle between the beams’ centerlines.

This joint type is compatible with beams in L topology.

Please use LMiterJoint.create() to properly create an instance of this class and associate it with an assembly.

Parameters:

assembly (TimberAssembly) – The assembly associated with the beams to be joined.
beam_a (Beam) – First beam to be joined.
beam_b (Beam) – Second beam to be joined.

Attributes:

beams (list(Beam)) – The beams joined by this joint.
cutting_planes (tuple(Frame, Frame)) – A trimming plane for each of the beams. The normals of the planes point at opposite directions.
joint_type (str) – A string representation of this joint’s type.

Methods

`add_features`	Adds the required extension and trimming features to both beams.
`restore_beams_from_keys`	After de-serialization, resotres references to the main and cross beams saved in the assembly.

Inherited Methods

`ToString`	Converts the instance to a string.
`copy`	Make an independent copy of the data object.
`create`	Creates an instance of this joint and creates the new connection in assembly.
`from_data`	Construct an object of this type from the provided data.
`from_json`	Construct an object from serialized data contained in a JSON file.
`from_jsonstring`	Construct an object from serialized data contained in a JSON string.
`sha256`	Compute a hash of the data for comparison during version control using the sha256 algorithm.
`to_data`	Convert an object to its native data representation.
`to_json`	Serialize the data representation of an object to a JSON file.
`to_jsonstring`	Serialize the data representation of an object to a JSON string.
`validate_data`	Validate the object's data against its data schema.
`validate_json`	Validate the object's data against its json schema.
