TButtJoint

class compas_timber.connections.TButtJoint(assembly=None, main_beam=None, cross_beam=None)[source]

Bases: Joint

Represents a T-Butt type joint which joins the end of a beam along the length of another beam, trimming the main beam.

This joint type is compatible with beams in T topology.

Please use TButtJoint.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.

  • main_beam (Beam) – The main beam to be joined.

  • cross_beam (Beam) – The cross beam to be joined.

Attributes:

  • beams (list(Beam)) – The beams joined by this joint.

  • cutting_plane_main (Frame) – The frame by which the main beam is trimmed.

  • cutting_plane_cross (Frame) – The frame by which the cross beam is trimmed.

  • joint_type (str) – A string representation of this joint’s type.

Methods

add_features

Adds the trimming plane to the main beam (no features for the cross beam).

restore_beams_from_keys

After de-serialization, resotres references to the main and cross beams saved in the assembly.
