LMiterJoint

class compas_timber.connections.LMiterJoint[source]

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 a model.

Parameters:
beam_aBeam

First beam to be joined.

beam_bBeam

Second beam to be joined.

Attributes:
beam_aBeam

First beam to be joined.

beam_bBeam

Second beam to be joined.

Methods

add_extensions

Calculates and adds the necessary extensions to the beams.

add_features

Adds the required extension and trimming features to both beams.

get_cutting_planes

restore_beams_from_keys

After de-serialization, restores references to the main and cross beams saved in the model.

Inherited Methods

ToString

Converts the instance to a string.

check_elements_compatibility

Checks if the beams are compatible for the creation of the joint.

copy

Make an independent copy of the data object.

create

Creates an instance of this joint and creates the new connection in model.

element_count_complies

from_json

Construct an object of this type from a JSON file.

from_jsonstring
