NullJoint

class compas_timber.connections.NullJoint

Bases: Joint

A null joint is a joint that does not have any features.

Can be used to join to beams which shouldn’t join.

Please use NullJoint.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_features	This joint does not add any features to the beams.
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.
add_extensions	Adds the extensions defined by this joint to affected beam(s).
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	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.
