LMiterJoint

class compas_timber.connections.LMiterJoint

Bases: Joint

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:

assemblyTimberAssembly

The assembly associated with the beams to be joined.

beam_aBeam

First beam to be joined.

beam_bBeam

Second beam to be joined.

Attributes:

beamslist(Beam)

The beams joined by this joint.

cutting_planestuple(Frame, Frame)

A trimming plane for each of the beams. The normals of the planes point at opposite directions.

joint_typestr

A string representation of this joint’s type.

Methods

add_features	Adds the required extension and trimming features to both beams.
get_cutting_planes
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_json	Construct an object of this type from a JSON file.
from_jsonstring	Construct an object of this type from a JSON string.
get_face_most_ortho_to_beam	Of all the faces of beam_b, returns the one whose normal is most orthogonal to beam_a.
get_face_most_towards_beam	Of all the faces of beam_b, returns the one whose normal most faces beam_a.
sha256	Compute a hash of the data for comparison during version control using the sha256 algorithm.
to_json	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON file.
to_jsonstring	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON string.
validate_data	Validate the data against the object's data schema.
