LMiterJoint

class compas_timber.connections.LMiterJoint[source]

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.
cutoffbool, optional: If True, the beams will be trimmed with a plane perpendicular to the bisector (miter) plane of the beams.

Attributes:

beam_aBeam: First beam to be joined.
beam_bBeam: Second beam to be joined.
cutoffbool, optional: If True, the beams will be trimmed with a plane perpendicular to the bisector (miter) plane of the beams.

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_cutoff_plane`	Returns a plane that is perpendicular to the miter plane at the intersection point of the two centerlines.
`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 cluster of beams complies with the requirements for 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`	Checks if the number of elements complies with the joint's requirements.
`from_json`	Construct an object of this type from a JSON file.
`from_jsonstring`	Construct an object of this type from a JSON string.
`promote_cluster`	Creates an instance of this joint from a cluster of elements.
`promote_joint_candidate`	Creates an instance of this joint from a joint candidate.
`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.
