FrenchRidgeLapJoint

class compas_timber.connections.FrenchRidgeLapJoint

Bases: Joint

Represents a French Ridge Lap type joint which joins two beam at their ends.

This joint type is compatible with beams in L topology.

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

Parameters:

beam_aBeam

The top beam to be joined.

beam_bBeam

The bottom beam to be joined.

Attributes:

beamslist(Beam)

The beams joined by this joint.

joint_typestr

A string representation of this joint’s type.

reference_face_indicesdict

A dictionary containing the indices of the reference faces for both beams.

Methods

check_geometry	This method checks whether the parts are aligned as necessary to create French Ridge Lap and determines which face is used as reference face for machining.
restore_beams_from_keys	After de-serialization, restores references to the top and bottom beams saved in the model.

Inherited Methods

ToString	Converts the instance to a string.
add_extensions	Adds the extensions defined by this joint to affected beam(s).
add_features	Adds the features defined by this joint to affected beam(s).
copy	Make an independent copy of the data object.
create	Creates an instance of this joint and creates the new connection in model.
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.
