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 an 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.

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
