LButtJoint

class compas_timber.connections.LButtJoint

Bases: ButtJoint

Represents an L-Butt type joint which joins two beam in their ends, trimming the main beam.

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:

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

small_beam_buttsbool, default False

If True, the beam with the smaller cross-section will be trimmed. Otherwise, the main beam will be trimmed.

modify_crossbool, default True

If True, the cross beam will be extended to the opposite face of the main beam and cut with the same plane.

reject_ibool, default False

If True, the joint will be rejected if the beams are not in I topology (i.e. main butts at crosses end).

Attributes:

main_beamBeam

The main beam to be joined.

cross_beamBeam

The cross beam to be joined.

small_beam_buttsbool, default False

If True, the beam with the smaller cross-section will be trimmed. Otherwise, the main beam will be trimmed.

modify_crossbool, default True

If True, the cross beam will be extended to the opposite face of the main beam and cut with the same plane.

reject_ibool, default False

If True, the joint will be rejected if the beams are not in I topology (i.e. main butts at crosses end).
