LapJoint

class compas_timber.connections.LapJoint

Bases: Joint

Abstract Lap type joint with functions common to L-Lap, T-Lap, and X-Lap Joints.

Do not instantiate directly. Please use **LapJoint.create() to properly create an instance of lap sub-class and associate it with an assembly.

Parameters:

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

flip_lap_sidebool

If True, the lap is flipped to the other side of the beams.

cut_plane_biasfloat

Allows lap to be shifted deeper into one beam or the other. Value should be between 0 and 1.0 without completely cutting through either beam. Default is 0.5.

Attributes:

beamslist(Beam)

The beams joined by this joint.

beamslist(Beam)

The main beam to be joined.

main_beam_keystr

The key of the main beam.

cross_beam_keystr

The key of the cross beam.

featureslist(Feature)

The features created by this joint.

joint_typestr

A string representation of this joint’s type.

Methods

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